This pivotal move paved the way for a forward-thinking plan to develop the extraordinary Paris Society brands in the world’s most sought-after destinations, and establish an unrivaled position as the global leader in the ultra-premium and luxury lifestyle dining segment.

Our Founder’s Words

“Hospitality flows through our DNA. It is at the core of everything we do, everyone we work with, and all our future endeavours. Driven by a simple yet innovative ambition, Paris Society continues to revolutionize the art of hospitality.  

Rooted in our origins within the vibrant nightlife scene, from the get-go we championed the virtues of celebration and generosity, together with a healthy dose of audacity. It is this spirit we channelled when we established the four pillars that make up our group. CLUBS, our legendary nightlife spots that have all found their zeitgeist moment; TABLES, our extraordinary restaurants serving as creative laboratories for a new era of dining; EVENTS, our unique portfolio of extraordinary venues for unforgettable experiences; and HOTELS, the embodiment of our collective expertise, transforming every escape into an indelible interlude.  

Our future rests upon these four pillars as we set our sights on exporting our brands worldwide, while we solidify our presence within the realm of true excellence, tirelessly crafting havens that exude unrivalled allure. 

Welcome to Paris Society, where the boundaries of entertaining are pushed beyond imagination, and where hospitality thrives as the essence of our existence.”
