A New Chapter Begins for Le Bristol Paris and Eden Rock – St Barths

Oetker Collection Announces a New Leadership Chapter for Le Bristol Paris and Eden Rock – St Barths

In luxury hospitality, true excellence is rarely defined by buildings alone. It is shaped by the people who bring them to life.

This autumn, Oetker Collection opens a new chapter in its history with two significant leadership appointments that reinforce the group’s commitment to preserving the unique identity of its iconic properties while preparing them for the future.

From 1 October 2026, Fabrice Moizan, the highly respected General Manager of Eden Rock – St Barths, will become President and General Manager of Le Bristol Paris, joining Oetker Collection’s Executive Committee. At the same time, Jean-Alexis Costa, currently Director of Operations at Eden Rock, will be promoted to General Manager of Eden Rock – St Barths from 1 September 2026.

A New Era for a Parisian Legend

Few hotels carry the prestige of Le Bristol Paris.

An enduring symbol of French elegance, the palace has welcomed royalty, artists, fashion icons and discerning travellers for more than a century. As it enters its second century, the arrival of Fabrice Moizan signals both continuity and evolution.

Recognised throughout the international hospitality industry for his exceptional leadership, Moizan has spent years elevating Eden Rock – St Barths into one of the Caribbean’s most celebrated luxury destinations. His ability to cultivate genuine hospitality while maintaining impeccable standards has earned him widespread recognition, including the title of Best Hotelier at DUCO France 2025.

His appointment reflects Oetker Collection’s philosophy of promoting leaders who understand that luxury is built on emotion as much as excellence.

Passing the Torch in St Barths

As Fabrice Moizan embarks on his new Parisian chapter, Jean-Alexis Costa steps into the leadership of one of the world’s most iconic island hotels.

Having worked alongside Moizan for many years, Costa has played an essential role in shaping the guest experience at Eden Rock. His promotion ensures a seamless transition while preserving the distinctive spirit that has made the legendary Caribbean retreat synonymous with relaxed sophistication.

It is less a change of direction than the natural continuation of a shared vision.

The Strength of Oetker Collection

What distinguishes Oetker Collection has never simply been its remarkable portfolio of hotels.

From Paris to St Barths, each property possesses its own identity, deeply rooted in its destination while united by an unwavering pursuit of excellence. Leadership transitions within the Collection are therefore more than executive appointments; they are carefully considered decisions designed to protect the character of each house while allowing it to evolve.

These latest nominations perfectly embody that philosophy.

As Le Bristol Paris prepares to write the next chapter of its remarkable history, and Eden Rock – St Barths continues its legacy under new leadership, Oetker Collection once again demonstrates that timeless luxury is ultimately about people, vision and the quiet art of passing excellence from one generation to the next.
