Guillaume Ranvier officially took up his position as General Manager of Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo on 5th January, succeeding Louis Starck, who was appointed General Manager of Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo in September. Ranvier arrives from the Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris, where he served as Hotel Manager.

The appointment comes as Hôtel Hermitage undergoes a transformation that will see new suites and a lobby bar unveiled in June.

From Paris to Monaco

Ranvier graduated top of his class from the École Supérieure de Cuisine Française in Paris before spending over a decade with the Hyatt Hotels Group, including stings in Doha and the French Riviera as Hotel Manager of the Martinez in Cannes. He also served as General Manager of Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Méditerranée, where he led the restaurant renovation and achieved record revenue levels in 2022.

Since 2023, Ranvier had been at the Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris.

Renovation plans

The appointment comes as the Hôtel Hermitage is in the midst of ambitious renovation plans. In June, it will unveil new suites alongside Bar Gustave, a lobby bar located beneath the Eiffel dome in the Winter Garden.

“I am very honoured to be entrusted with the responsibility of this exceptional House of Connoisseurs, Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo,” said Ranvier in a statement released by SBM. “Our ambition is to write a new chapter for Hôtel Hermitage, resolutely focused on the future through its renovations, service centred on detail, personalised stays where every gesture has meaning, and, above all, women and men devoted to bringing that extra soul which offers our guests an authentic, elegant and memorable experience.”

Former General Manager Louis Starck was appointed to the head of the Hôtel de Paris in October 2025.
