Today marks a significant milestone as Mandarin Oriental officially assumes management of the legendary Hôtel Lutetia, unveiling its new identity as Mandarin Oriental Lutetia, Paris. As the only Palace hotel on the Left Bank, this celebrated landmark now joins Mandarin Oriental, further enhancing the Group’s presence in the French capital with an exceptional hospitality experience on both sides of the Seine.

The inauguration ceremony was held in the presence of Laurent Kleitman, Group Chief Executive of Mandarin Oriental, and other members of the Group’s senior leadership team, as well as the Akirov family as owners of the hotel and Jean Pierre Trevisan, Managing Director of Mandarin Oriental Lutetia, Paris.

With three weeks remaining until Arabian Travel Market (ATM), the event is on course to attract a record number of high value visitors, with registrations up 104% compared to the same time last year, reinforcing its position as an essential platform for travel trade professionals around the world.
