Groupe Barriere, a name synonymous with French luxury and the art of living for over 100 years, has embarked on a multi million Euro renovation of its impressive portfolio of 19 hotels. This commitment to excellence aligns perfectly with La Collection’s own unwavering focus on providing their trade partners clients with unparalleled service and unforgettable stays.

La Collection co-founder & director of sales, Craig Farrell, said: “We are thrilled to add the iconic Fouquet’s properties to our portfolio, including our first American property. Groupe Barriere’s commitment to excellence and innovation is aligned with our own values, and we are confident that these hotels will be a huge success in Australia and New Zealand.”

Group Barriere vice president of sales, Nathaniel Most, added: “We are delighted to appoint La Collection as our representative in Australia & New Zealand, and we look forward to growing our Barriere presence in these two important and fast-growing markets for the group. We are confident that Lea, Craig, and the team will bring the authenticity, elegance, and French DNA down under.”

Initially, La Collection will focus on raising awareness for the two stunning Fouquet’s properties:
