The company’s three-generation pedigree translates into nearly half a century of industry knowledge.“We are honored to bring the Barrière brand, a prestigious icon in the hospitality industry to New York, creating a level of hospitality the Tribeca neighborhood has yet to see,” said Caspi. “We found a natural synergy with Groupe Barrière, sharing family-ownedprinciples and generations-long industry expertise. We look forward to creating a space that marries traditional French elegance with the casual residential vibes of Tribeca.”“We are particularly proud of this first Barrière address in the United States as the Hotel Barrière Fouquet’s New York is a collective project supported by the entire Group,” said Dominique Desseigne, chairman of Groupe Barrière. “Fouquet’s is a mythical place in Paris on the Champs Elysées, but it is also an iconic brand that our group, with 110 years of expertise in luxury hotels and restaurants, is successfully exporting internationally. Whether at the Louvre Abu Dhabi or today in New York, the brand of Fouquet’s contributes to the radiancy of France and the French art de vivre abroad.
