Louis Vuitton, a brand synonymous with luxury and style, is taking an ambitious leap beyond the realms of fashion and accessories. In a groundbreaking move, the iconic French label is set to open its first luxury hotel within its Paris headquarters, marking a significant expansion in the brand's illustrious 160-year history.
According to Women’s Wear Daily, Chairman and CEO Michael Burke has revealed plans to transform the brand's headquarters in Paris, France, into a colossal complex. This development will not only house the world's first Louis Vuitton hotel but also the largest LV boutique globally.
Situated in the historic first arrondissement, near the Church of Saint Germain l’Auxerrois, the Louis Vuitton building boasts breathtaking views, ranging from the Eiffel Tower to the Notre-Dame cathedral. This area, once described as “a no man’s land,” has undergone a radical transformation under the stewardship of LVMH Moët Hennessy, Louis Vuitton's parent company. LVMH, led by Chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault, has been instrumental in revitalising the neighbourhood with the addition of luxurious venues like the new Cheval Blanc hotel, the revamped La Samaritaine department store, and a Cova pastry outpost.
This week marked the beginning of the transformation with the launch of 'LV Dream,' a new 20,000-square-foot experiential space set to remain open for a year. This pop-up features an exhibition showcasing LV’s artist collaborations, a gift store, and a café and chocolate shop managed by the head pastry chef at Cheval Blanc Paris. Burke indicated that this space would "most probably" become Vuitton's largest store, while the hotel is slated to open elsewhere in the building within the next five years.
Despite the proximity of the Cheval Blanc hotel, merely a two-minute walk away, Burke is confident that the future LV hotel will carve out its unique identity and service segment, offering a completely different experience. This initiative reflects a growing trend in the luxury sector, where high-end experiences are increasingly sought after in addition to premium products.
With this venture, Louis Vuitton is set to redefine luxury hospitality, adding a new dimension to its legacy and offering an exclusive experience that blends the brand's rich heritage with modern luxury.

The Hari Hong Kong is bringing fresh dining experiences this season with the launch of ‘This is Izakaya’ at Zoku and new seasonal menus at Lucciola.
At Zoku restaurant & The Terrace, Wednesdays now come alive with ‘This is Izakaya’, a lively Japanese dining experience that blends food, drinks, and music. Inspired by izakaya culture in Japan, guests can enjoy Nomihodai (free-flow drinks at a set price) paired with unlimited shared snacks, while live performances from singers and DJs create a vibrant midweek gathering.
The curated menu includes salmon tartar tacos, spicy edamame, Kyushu chicken wings, sake salmon skewers in teriyaki sauce, and sushi rolls like Kagoshima pork belly with pickled radish, miso, and lime or salmon with avocado, cucumber, and ponzu. Prices start at HKD368 per person for 90 minutes, with optional add-ons such as tiger prawn tempura (HKD58) and soft-shell crab rolls (HKD48). The drinks menu ranges from Asahi to martinis, along with non-alcoholic beers and crafted zero-proof cocktails.
Zoku’s October entertainment line-up includes DJ Miles, singer-songwriter Lili Forest 木子, singer Kasey Pong, busker RT Wong, and songwriter Josh Dionisio. With its striking design of leather booths, crimson banquettes, and origami-like timber ceilings, Zoku offers an intimate yet dynamic atmosphere.
Meanwhile, Lucciola, The Hari’s Italian restaurant, is highlighting the best of sea and woodland ingredients with new seasonal offerings. Seafood takes center stage every weekend with dishes like Impepata di Cozze (black-peppered steamed mussels), Crudo di Mare (fresh seafood platter), and Ostriche e Caviale (seasonal oysters with Ossetra caviar. On Thursdays, the ‘Mussel-icious’ promotion offers endless mussels with fries and salad.
Lucciola is also celebrating autumn flavors with a porcini mushroom set menu available until November 15, 2025. The multi-course menu showcases porcini mushrooms from northern Italy and Mediterranean figs in dishes such as Carpaccio di Fichi with Parma ham, Tagliatelle Funghi with beef cheek ragout, and Risotto Carnaroli with porcini, tomino cheese, and seasonal black truffle. Desserts include tiramisu, caramelized fig pie, or almond lemon cake. The full menu is priced at HKD688, with smaller course options starting at HKD568.
Both experiences highlight The Hari Hong Kong’s continued innovation in blending international flavors with immersive dining experiences, creating memorable evenings for its guests.

Hilton has unveiled The Marcus Portrush, a Tapestry Collection hotel, marking the debut of this upscale brand in Northern Ireland. The property features 80 elegantly designed rooms and is located along the stunning North Atlantic coastline in Portrush.
Housed in a beautifully restored Victorian building that dates back to 1895—once a hotel and artisan bakery—the £11 million ($15 million) renovation has carefully preserved historical elements such as original mosaic signage and floor mosaics.
The hotel’s opening is strategically aligned with the 153rd Open Championship, scheduled to be held at the nearby Royal Portrush Golf Club from 13–20 July 2025. This prestigious golf event returns to Northern Ireland for the first time since 2019, expected to draw a significant influx of international visitors.
Stephen Cassidy, Senior Vice President for Hilton UK & Ireland, said, “Northern Ireland has seen a strong rise in tourism in recent years, drawing travellers from around the world to experience its unique charm. As the only internationally branded hotel in Portrush, The Marcus Portrush offers high-quality accommodation with an authentic local touch, making it the perfect base for visitors eager to explore all that Northern Ireland has to offer.”
The development stems from a franchise agreement with Andras House, Northern Ireland’s largest hotel group. The new hotel is projected to contribute around £1.1 million annually through visitor spending and create more than 40 permanent local jobs, reinforcing Portrush’s position as a key tourism hub.
Earlier this year, Hilton also announced a partnership with Loughview Leisure Group to bring a DoubleTree by Hilton to Belfast City Centre, further strengthening its footprint in Northern Ireland’s hospitality market.

The Hari Hotels have unveiled a one-of-a-kind dual-destination experience—‘A Tale of Two Cities: Twin City Suite Sensation’—blending style, storytelling, and world-class hospitality across London and Hong Kong. The exclusive package offers luxurious suite stays, curated cultural explorations, and signature afternoon teas at The Hari London and The Hari Hong Kong, both designed by the acclaimed Tara Bernerd.
Guests are invited to begin their journey in either city, with a stay at The Chesham Suite in Hong Kong or The Lockhart Suite in London. While the Chesham Suite sits atop the 30-storey tower in bustling Wan Chai, offering panoramic views of Victoria Harbour, the Lockhart Suite in Belgravia offers a distinctly British charm with its fireplace, private library, and iconic London skyline views.
Each stay includes immersive local experiences tailored to their locations. In Hong Kong, guests join a guided night tour of Wan Chai, led by travel influencer @explore_hongkong, featuring unique cultural touchpoints like ‘Villain Hitting’, the historic Ding Ding Tram, and traditional tea shops. In London, guests are given a personalized Belgravia guide curated by The Hari’s head concierge Ben Malpass, filled with insider spots, from Buckingham Palace to hidden gems across West End.
Hospitality takes a decadent turn with afternoon tea for two in each city. At The Hari Hong Kong, ‘The Hari Afternoon Tea’ is served at The Lounge and The Terrace with delightful treats like matcha ice cream lollipops and snow crab tartelettes. In London, ‘Dolci Momenti’ Afternoon Tea is hosted at il Pampero, the hotel’s Italian restaurant, offering a luxurious Italian twist on British tradition—think Tiramichoux and focaccia with Parma ham.
Dr. Aron Harilela, Chairman and CEO of Harilela Hotels, said the concept is a heartfelt tribute to both cities: “It’s a celebration of the heritage, dynamism, and charm of my favourite cities.”
From curated tours and bespoke suites to gourmet indulgences and timeless elegance, this unique package is all about experiencing the best of both worlds—effortlessly, elegantly, and exclusively.
