Kleitman said of the move: “These new long-term management agreements with two of Europe’s great heritage hotels are core to our strategy of expanding and strengthening our brand’s presence in world destinations that appeal to our fans.”

 “Welcoming the legendary Hôtel Lutetia to our portfolio, 115 years after its opening, further strengthens Mandarin Oriental’s foothold in this key luxury market, where we are successfully operating Mandarin Oriental, Paris on Rue Saint Honoré since 2011.

“Having soon, two Palace hotels in Paris, one on the left and one on the right bank, we are proudly reaffirming our relentless commitment to the French hospitality market and creating a compelling choice for our guests. 

"Indeed, we have significant experience of operating two hotels in key city centre destinations - including Hong Kong, London, Beijing and soon, Dubai - where we have successfully showcased two distinct facets of each destination."

The Hotels are part of the Locka Holding BV Founder, Alfred Akirov, said: “We are delighted to be collaborating with Mandarin Oriental to rebrand our heritage landmarks and bring a new energy to the experiences that both have to offer.”
