History
In the 1990s, the Barrière family purchased the restaurant Fouquet's, along with seven buildings surrounding the venue, in the hope of opening the group's first hotel in the French capital. Opened in 2006, the hotel was developed with the collaboration of french architect Édouard François and designer Jacques Garcia.
The hotel was closed in early 2017 to allow for renovations, and reopened on 1 July that year.
