Legend & Renewal
In 2017, Hotel Barrière Le Fouquet's Paris launches a major renovation and expansion programme.
In 2017, Barrière continues the renovation programme of its establishments, hotels, restaurants, and casinos.
As of January 2017, Hotel Barrière Le Fouquet’s Paris will benefit from part of the Group's investments. Barrière,led by Dominique Desseigne has been renovating and modernizing its most emblematic venues since 2014
According to Dominique Desseigne,
“Le Fouquet's will always be a part of the story and heart of Barrière. It is more than just one of the most famous brasseries in France, with terraces that welcome millions of tourists from around the world and throughout France, or just a hotel located on the most beautiful avenue in the world. Le Fouquet's on its own is a landmark that has resisted the ephemeral winds of fashion and remains a leader of French tourism and an essential destination for artists, particularly those in the theatre and movie world. Its temporary closure for several months is, in itself, a major event as it is opening up new perspectives for our establishment in our accommodation and food and beverages offerings and how we decorate and arrange our rooms. That is all I have to say for now and I look forward to greeting all of our guests in early summer” said Dominique Desseigne, CEO of Barrière.
