The crisis has allowed players of the hotel industry to review their models, their operation and their objectives. The Hospitality Operator Forum, Hospitality On’s think tank, will bring together European leaders in hospitality to share their views on the challenges of the sector. An exchange with some of the young entrepreneurs reinventing the hotel industry will take place there.
Romain Gowhari, Deputy CEO of Vicartem and Co-founder and CEO of Younight Hospitality will have the pleasure to take part to the event on June 12th at the InterContinental Paris Le Grand.
Dated from 1860, the former Cartier-Bresson spinning factory was abandoned for decades. Its refurbishment was expected by the inhabitants to open up the district. The building is now experiencing a new life thanks to Maud Caubet Architects and has become a cultural and childcare center.
For this renovation, Maud Caubet decided to do with the existing building and kept five of the seven workshops, in order to preserve the structure as much as possible. Large bay windows allow natural light to penetrate the building, creating a dialogue between the interior of the Sheds and the surrounding nature of the Diderot park.
Reflecting its strong dynamism in investment, the private equity company closed the year with the signing of a 300th hotel in its portfolio. The future 260-room ibis Styles will take place in Valdebebas, a district known for its Isabel Zendal hospital, Real Madrid training center, IFEMA Exhibition and Congress Center and its residential area of La Solana. In full development, the urban area should also host very soon the new courthouse, 36,000 sqm of offices, a 145,000 sqm shopping center and an extension of the IFEMA. Finally, the district enjoys vast natural areas such as the Felipe VI Park, one of the green lungs of the capital, which extends over more than 400 hectares.
AGP Hotels, partner and co-investor in the operation, will operate this new establishment. The group already has ten franchised hotels in France and Spain to its credit.
