La Tribune de lHotellerie

🎭 La Folie Barbizon, set to reopen in May 2025, is a 4-star hotel featuring 21 rooms and an artists' residence near the historic Fontainebleau forest. The project, a collaboration between Chapitre Six and Lionel Bensemoun, has interior spaces redesigned by Marion Collard and involves an 18-artist team. Supported by the Greenline Foundation under Sarah Valente's presidency, it aims to blend art, nature, and history. Located less than 60 minutes from Paris, La Folie Barbizon offers immersive art experiences, bike rides, sauna relaxation, and homemade herbal tea.

🍴 In France, hotel restaurants are seen as an opportunity amid commercial restaurant hardships. Investing in telework-friendly venues can offer quality dining and productive workspaces, turning hotels into hybrid spaces for both professional and gastronomic needs. Traditionally focused on rooms and breakfasts, hotel restaurants are often viewed as cost centers. Yet, with a 10% increase in restaurant bankruptcies in a year due to COVID-19 and remote work, hotel dining presents an alternative for consumers seeking accessible options like bakeries.
