Lush Experiences Enthusiastically Welcomes Two Les Grands Hotel Parisiens Group Hotels (Newly Named PARISTORY) to its Curated Portfolio of Luxury Properties

Written by Linda Hohnholz

With Grand Hotel Du Palais Royal and Hotel Grand Powers now Lush Collection members, the new partnership reunites a Lush Experiences Co-Founder with an industry luminary Ms. Severine Greault who oversees sales and marketing for the two 5-star properties.

Adding to its extensive and curated portfolio of European luxury hotels, Lush Experiences, www.lushexperiences.com continues to earn the trust of some of the world’s most notable properties with Grand Hotel Du Palais Royal, www.grandhoteldupalaisroyal.com, and Hotel Grand Powers, www.hotelgrandpowersparis.com, joining its ranks. The new entrants are a part of the Les Grands Hotel Parisiens Group known for providing guests with exquisite dining and bar options, extensive amenities and above all else, unparalleled locations.

Each hotel brings specific strengths to the marketplace, placing Lush in a strong position to represent each to Travel Advisors across North America. Virtuoso Preferred properties, each provides unique dining experiences under the watchful eye of Chef Maxime Raab in two Café 52 Paris locations, one in each hotel. Adorning both properties, guests will find luxury bathroom amenities from the legendary perfumer Diptyque, a full compliment of features including boutique spas, Hammams, fitness rooms, bike rentals, and two unique and incredible locations.

Specifically, the Grand Hotel Du Palais Royal features 59 stylishly elegant rooms ranging from Superior, some with balconies, all the way up to the incredible Rooftop and Eiffel Tower Suites with full terraces and stunning views of the City of Lights. Located on the confidential and quiet Place de Valois, the hotel is situated across from the Palais Royal Garden and a short 2-minute walk from the Louvre. One key feature of interest for families is that the Hotel will guarantee connecting rooms at the time of booking.

Hotel Grand Power, offering another fashionable location in the heart of the Golden Triangle right next to the Champs-Elysees, Avenue Montaigne and Avenue George V. With 50 total stylish accommodations rooms ranging from spacious Superior rooms, some with Parisian balconies, to its own unique Eiffel Tower Suite with a separate living room and one-of-a-kind view of the Eiffel Tower, the Hotel is a perfect spot for guests to enjoy an authentic Parisien stay. The Hotel décor combines the glamour of the 1930’s with a truly modern twist highlighted by original crown moldings of the era, and several room categories set-off by bespoke fireplaces.

Severine Greault, Regional Director of Sales and Marketing for Grands Hôtels Parisiens said, “In our efforts to continue to elevate and promote the Grand Powers and Grand Hotel du Palais, we have selected one of North America’s most prestigious sales and marketing representation firms to position our properties alongside their Collection of world-class luxury independent hotels.  I am very confident having worked with these gentlemen in the past that they will bring awareness of the hotels to an added new faction of luxury travel advisors in North America who will influence their most upscale Parisien travelers to experience our unique style of hospitality.”

“I am intimately familiar with these two properties having worked with our well-known colleague Severine Greault in the past. The hotels are in two of Paris’most desired locations, offer their guests an authentic Parisian luxury experience with first-class service,” said Lush Partner Brad Beaty. “Every client that stays at the Hotel Grand Powers will be amazed at the value for an exceptional location just steps from iconic Paris landmarks and shopping, the spacious rooms and suites, and the level of guest recognition this 5-star boutique hotel provides. At the Grand Hotel du Palais, neighboring the Le Louvre, its recent renovation is highlighted by new suites created by combining two rooms into spacious surroundings. For those “Emily in Paris” fans, one step outside the front door and they will find themselves on the set of the ultra-popular series!”

“There’s no greater show of support for the services we provide than to earn the returning business of such distinguished hotels, and our entire team is ready to meet the challenge on day one,” said Giuseppe Di Palma, also Partner at Lush. “We are honored to have the stable of client members we have, and these two hotels continue our tradition of working with the best of the best.” 

Coinciding with the announcement of the Lush Experiences relationship is the news that the group Les Grands Hotels Parisiens has just become the PARISTORY brand of hotels as of March 2024!

In seeking a shorter, more memorable name that better embodies the values of the highly-regarded brand, PARISTORY was chosen to take the iconic collection forward.

With its new brand name, leadership has truly focused on the DNA of its hotels…from their sublime “key locations” to the particulars that highlight each property’s individual story, the PARISTORY Group seeks to tell a story about the organization’s family, teams and how they all fit into and embody the Paris fabric.
