Mandarin Oriental Takes Over Management of Historic Lutetia Hotel in Paris

The iconic Art Deco landmark, steeped in cultural and World War II history, has been renamed Mandarin Oriental Lutetia under a long-term partnership with Alrov Group.

• The Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group officially assumed management of the Lutetia hotel on April 3, 2025, renaming it Mandarin Oriental Lutetia.
• The Israeli Alrov Group, which acquired the hotel in 2010 and financed its extensive 200-million-euro renovation, retains ownership of the property.
• The Lutetia, opened in 1910, holds a significant historical legacy, including its role as a Nazi-occupied site during World War II and later as a refuge for concentration camp survivors.
• No major changes are planned for the recently renovated luxury hotel, which earned the prestigious 'Palace' distinction in 2019.
• The hotel has a rich cultural history, having hosted notable figures such as Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, and Charles de Gaulle, and remains a symbol of Parisian heritage.
