Buyer: Beaumier, previously named Les Hotels d’en Haut, owned by KSL Capital Partners
Beaumier, the hotel group within KSL Capital Partners, for those who are looking for an escape in a unique and authentic setting, today announced the acquisition of three hotels in Switzerland’s Alpine region of Wengen for an undisclosed amount. The three hotels are located right in the centre of the village with ski-in, ski-out capabilities and magnificient views to the Jungfrau and the Lauterbrunnen-valley.
The acquisition is the first purchase for Beaumier outside of France and reflects the group’s desire to acquire high quality hotels across premier seasonal leisure destinations across Europe. The pre-existing portfolio is already made up of eight hotels spread across the French Alps, Provence and the Côte d’Azur.
“We are excited to bring Beaumier to Switzerland. The addition of these three hotels is a strategic next step for the continued growth in Europe and beyond” says Eric Dardé, CEO at Beaumier. “Our aim is always to create hotels full of life and soul by anchoring them in their local culture and environment. The Zinnert family has created hotels full of heritage and we can’t wait to carry on their legacy, welcoming Beaumier guests to experience the natural beauty of Wengen.”
Bettina Zinnert commented “My goal has always been to take Wengen Classic Hotels to the next level. After the passing of my father, I realised that as a family run business, we didn’t have the resources to reach our truest potential. I am delighted that Beaumier will help bring the hotels to the top of the market and really put Wengen on the map as a destination. Beaumier is a hotel group that echoes lots of our own values and I am excited to see what is next for these properties.”
In addition to the three recently acquired hotels in Wengen, Beaumier operates eight hotels in France: Hot̂el Le Val Thorens, Hot̂el Le Fitzroy in Val Thorens, and Hot̂el des 3 Vallées in Courchevel 1850 in the French Alps; Hot̂el L”Alpaga in Megève; and Hot̂el Les Roches Rouges, in Saint-Raphaël on the Cot̂e d’Azur along with Le Moulin and Le Galinier in Lourmarin and Le Capelongue in Bonnieux.

THPT Comment: When we first met Eric Darde in 2017, we didn’t quite believe he was going to achieve his ambitions to create and build a group largely focused on ski resort hotels…well he has gone a long way in a short period of time.
