ONCE IN A LIFETIME: A NEW LUXURY HOTEL AFFILIATION (France)
Hoteliers and entrepreneurs Olivia and Didier Le Calvez are launching a new project born of an observation carefully thought out during meetings with travel professionals.
ONCE IN A LIFETIME is a new hotel affiliation that aims to gather homogeneous affiliates based on their size, their quality and their sense of innovation. Each hotel shares aesthetic and artistic values and is an ambassador of its destination.
ONCE IN A LIFETIME is based on an unwavering commitment to quality and proposes an alternative based on the destination and the discovery of exclusive places. The attention paid to listening will allow this new affiliation to meet hoteliers’ needs. It will value each property as an integral part of an exclusive group and aims to be worthy of the investment.
ONCE IN A LIFETIME is based on a flawless expertise which has been forged over numerous years in the luxury hotel industry and that is forward-looking. The new luxury hotel affiliation aspires to gather a maximum of 100 exclusive and complementary affiliates around the world, all of which have a maximum of 100 rooms. It is to be recognised for the quality of accommodation and the innovative service.
