EquipHotel · Hôtel & Lodge

Hospitality Talks, hall 7.1 · 2:00-2:45pm · with Pierre Martin (Atout France), Jérôme Charaoui (Hôtel Westminster Paris), Alain D’Addio (Temmos Hotels) and Jean-Philippe Nuel (Studio Jean-Philippe Nuel)

Conference led by Laurent Delporte, presented by Hotel & Lodge, with Pierre Martin, Deputy Director of Quality and Regulatory Affairs at Atout France, Jérôme Charaoui, Director of Operations at Hôtel Westminster Paris, Alain D’Addio, General Manager of Temmos Hotels, and Jean-Philippe Nuel, founder of Studio Jean-Philippe Nuel: 'Upgrading: why and how does a hotel move from 4 to 5 stars?' For a hotelier, earning a fifth star is a real asset for attractiveness and profitability, but it requires an ambitious, upfront strategy of repositioning and investment: the necessary condition to meet a strict set of criteria for comfort, personalised service, quality amenities and sound environmental practices... From the premium segment to the luxury segment, the step up is steep and the challenges are numerous. More than an evolution, it is often a revolution.
