    Founded in 2008 by Laurent de Gourcuff, Paris Society Group (formerly Noctis) is a key player in the hospitality industry in France with 150M in revenues in 2019, 1,200 employees and a portfolio of some 40 exceptional venues.
    2017 and 2018 were years of strong acceleration with the entrance into Paris Society’s capital of a strategic industrial partner and a world leader in the hotel industry: Accor. With their support, Paris Society began a new strategic development phase, focusing on the ultra- premium segment and adding a fourth pillar to its portfolio: lifestyle hotels.
    2019 and 2020 confirmed Paris Society’s desire to boost its restaurant business. Major brands such as CoCo, Louie and Mun came to life, increasing Paris Society’s presence in France as well as inspiring the launch of the company’s first operation in London.
    In 2021, the group founded its global division, Paris Society International, headquartered in Dubai. With this, a strategic and pioneering plan to deploy its incredible brands and experiences in global gateway capitals and hotspot destinations, was launched. Ultimately, the strategic aspiration of Paris Society International is to take an undisputed global market leading position in ultra-premium and lifestyle dining.
