After recently buying Belmond, the French group is willing to reinforce its leadership.
LVMH entered hospitality by buying Cheval Blanc in 2006 - 4 hotels and an opening in 2020 in Paris - Bulgari brand in 2011 along with the jewelry department - 6 hotels and 4 in the pipeline and Belmond end of 2018 - 46 hotels trains and boats.
Olivier Lefebvre who has been managing the Cheval Blanc brand will now be supported to accelerate the development of the group by:
- Eric Boonstoppel who will be in charge of the resorts after developing the operation while managing the Cheval Blanc Courchevel from 2010.
- Christian Boyens general manager of the Ritz Paris to develop the city hotels mostly in Los Angeles, Paris and London.
It is positive news to learn that LVMH is interested in developing its hospitality sector.
