This renowned French expert in the international luxury hotel industry will be responsible for preparing the opening, scheduled for 2028, of the first Asian establishment and the tenth of Dorchester Collection, a subsidiary of the Brunei Investment Agency.
Dorchester Collection is treating itself to nothing less than “Hotelier of the Year 2024”, a title awarded by The Brit List, in recognition of its recognized skills as an inspired leader.
The prestigious British hotel group has just appointed Frenchman Philippe Leboeuf as its new managing director.
He will replace Eugenio Pirri from June 2025, who left last December. He had been appointed to this post in July 2023, in tandem with Helen Smith.
Tokyo: 2028 horizon
Philippe Leboeuf’s projects will include the opening in Tokyo, scheduled for 2028 in the heights of the Torch Tower, with a view of Mount Fuji, of the tenth luxury hotel in the Dorchester Collection portfolio. But above all, his first in Asia.
