Didier Le Calvez is the new Executive Vice President of Shangri-La (Europe & North America) and also the new General Manager of the future Shangri-La Hotel, Palais d'Iena, Paris, opening early 2009. Mr Le Calvez was since 1998 the General Manager of The Four Seasons George V and worked since 1988 for the Group Four Seasons.
Internationally renowned for his great work through the different properties where he worked, Didier Le Calvez joins today Shangri-La and will be responsible for leading Shangri-La's impending rapid expansion into the West. He will introduce and maintain Shangri-La's signature standards of Asian-style service excellence not only in Paris, but in new hotels opening over the next three years in London, Vancouver, Chicago, Miami and Las Vegas.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts have acquired the historic “Palais of Prince Roland Bonaparte” with plans to convert it to the Shangri-La Hotel, Paris in 2009, marking the group's European debut. The Bonaparte family mansion in Paris' 16th arrondissement will be converted into the capital's first luxury hotel fully owned and operated by an Asian hotel group.
Located at 10, avenue d'Iena, near the Trocadero, the building offers some of the city's finest views of the River Seine and the Eiffel Tower, which is a 15-minute, walk away. The Champs Elysées and Arc de Triomphe are also within walking distance. The mansion is located next to the Iena metro station and set amidst a mix of residences, businesses, museums and embassies.
Interiors will feature original grand staircase, fireplaces, parquet and marble flooring, seven-metre high doorways and ceilings, chandeliers, mirrors, ceiling frescoes, gold-leaf accents and molding enhanced with the Bonaparte insignia. Historic paintings and statuary will remain focal points. Accommodations in the seven-storey building will consist of 140 deluxe guestrooms and suites. Two restaurants will include a fine Chinese restaurant in addition to a rooftop terrace with a "reach out and touch" outlook on the Eiffel Tower and river. Also included will be an indoor swimming pool, health club, retail space and business lounge.
As a conclusion, Shangri-La has chosen to success with the implementation of its new hotel in Paris and especially with the arrival of Didier Le Calvez, an incredible hard worker and business man, who will position this new property as one of the most prestigious Palace in the world like the Four Seasons George V seven years ago.
