In conversation with DIDIER LE CALVEZ
Description
Didier has indeed been 'around the block' in the world of luxury travel. We first met in Singapore in the early 90s when Didier was GM of The Regent and I was with Institutional Investor magazine. Since then our paths have continually crossed in New York, Paris, Asia and now St. Emilion in France!
Having run some of the world's most iconic hotels Didier and his wife Olivia are now turning their attention towards a new hotel affiliation concept - Once in A Lifetime. This will be a coming together of 100 like-minded hotels around the world that are independent by nature and by design, whilst being reflective of their individual destinations. If anyone is capable of doing this it is indeed Didier and Olivia given their respective hotel backgrounds. They understand what independent hoteliers need whilst also having the experience to predict the guests needs.
We sat down and talked about this new concept at Chateau Clarisse which Didier and Oliva own in St. Emilion. Can there be a better place to discuss the future of bold, global, curious travel than with a glass of this fabulous wine in your hand?
