Mandarin Oriental to sell retail units next to Paris Hotel for €148m

The prospective buyer is Lavender Propco SNC, an entity controlled by Blackstone Europe LLP.

Mandarin Oriental International Limited, the parent company of Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, has signed an option to sell its interests in two retail units adjacent to the Mandarin Oriental, Paris, located at 251 rue Saint-Honoré.

The prospective buyer, Lavender Propco SNC, an entity controlled by Blackstone Europe LLP, has offered $216m (€148m) for these units.

Mandarin Oriental International Limited originally acquired the building housing both the retail units and the hotel in 2013. Recently, the company split the property into separate titles and sold the hotel to Statuto Group for $299m (€205m) on 29 April. The proceeds from the pending sale of the retail units are earmarked to support the company's broader development initiatives.

Finalisation of the sale is subject to conditions, including Paris City's right of preemption, with completion expected by 30 June.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
