Philippe Journo, President of Compagnie de Phalsbourg said: 'This is a site we acquired in 2014 with the intention of turning it from commercial space to an upscale hotel. This hotel and our partnership with Compagnie de Phalsbourg is a statement of this intent as we continue our focus on galvanising our growth in France.'

As the leading name in global hospitality, this brand demands standout locations and ambitious partners willing to work with us to create dynamic hospitality experiences that will add to Paris' global appeal. Patrick Fitzgibbon, senior vice president, development, Hilton said: 'Since marking the return of our core brand to central Paris in 2015, expanding its presence in the city has been high on our agenda. The French designer Philippe Starck will be in charge of the Interior Design of the property. The plans were unveiled at MIPIM today in conjunction with owner Compagnie de Phalsbourg with whom Hilton has signed a management agreement to operate the 118 guest room property. Hilton (NYSE: HLT) has announced that its flagship Hilton Hotels & Resorts brand will add a second property in central Paris, Hilton Paris Eiffel Tower. The site on Avenue de Saxe, sits next to Place de Breteuil and leads towards the Champ de Mars.
