Philippe Leboeuf
London-based The Dorchester Collection, which operates a range of luxury hotels around the world, has named Philippe Leboeuf its new CEO.
When he takes up the position in June, Leboeuf will oversee the Dorchester Collection's 10 properties in operation, including hotels in London, Paris, Milan and Rome, as well as planned new properties in Tokyo and Dubai.
Leboeuf was most recently managing director of Raffles London at The OWO, which opened in September 2023, and previously served as director general of Concorde Hotels and as regional VP of operations for Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group.
Dorchester Collection president and former CEO Christopher Cowdray called Leboeuf "highly respected globally" in a statement announcing the appointment.
“Keeping the Dorchester Collection’s renowned culture and values alive was key in the selection of Philippe as CEO,” added Cowdray.
“Driven by purpose and excellence, he is highly respected globally by many stakeholders including owners, the travel trade, the media and partners, and especially employees and guests.”
Leboeuf will replace co-CEOs Ernesto Pirri and Helen Smith, who both departed the organisation in January. The Dorchester Collection is owned by the Brunei Investment Agency, the sovereign wealth fund of Brunei.
