Hôtel Fouquet's Barrière***** - Paris
Dignified Luxury©
Towards a sustainable luxury
DIGNIFIED LUXURY©… An all encompassing concept that surrounds you from the moment you arrive at Hotel Fouquet’s Barrière.
A concept which means respecting you throughout your stay and not making any compromise in terms of your comfort.
It also means respect for the earth and its natural resources, a quest for balance and well being expressed on many levels… Above all, it is about living the luxury of new experiences while living in harmony with our environment. It is the intimate conviction that we can enjoy natural and universal treasures that far exceed material wealth. DIGNIFIED LUXURY is about you, about us. A never-ending love story.
“For us DIGNIFIED LUXURY© means living in an environmentally friendly manner while focussing on environmental issues. Our idea of luxury is far from ostentatious or a shameless waste; it expresses the values of Fouquet’s through an ethical prism. We aim to offer guests credible and reasonable environmental options that they may adopt whenever they wish. Because luxury is above all a question of having the choice.”
Eric Boonstoppel – Managing Director
A concerned for the environment while seeking to offer guests the best and most amazing services, has caused Hotel Fouquet's Barrière to develop the concept of DIGNIFIED LUXURY©.

Experience Dignified Luxury©
Experience DIGNIFIED LUXURY© at Hôtel Fouquet’s Barrière through : organic produce menus, environmentally friendly transport, champagne from ecological vineyards, fair trade flowers and fruit juices. The property takes part in cultural events focusing on Sustainable Luxury such as the Sustainable Luxury fair at Palais de Tokyo. Temporary art exhibitions also contribute to guests awareness of our planet’s future. Famous photographer Yann-Arthus Bertrand exhibited at the hotel and the proceeds from the sale of the photos went to GoodPlanet, the artist’s foundation. Let's also highlight a partnership with NeoPlanet, the first webradio focused on sustainable development. This year the hotel took part in the prestigious “Domaine de Villegeorge” grappe harvest. This initiative will enable us to plant trees in the Landes area of South-West of France thanks to the profit of the sale of the Fouquet’s ‘cuvée’.
