Associated Luxury Hotels International (ALHI) has expanded its worldwide portfolio and European options with the
addition of two luxury-level hotels in Paris. The popular and meetings-focused the Hotel du Collectionneur Arc de
Triomphe, Paris and the elegant boutique hotel Les Jardins du Marais, Paris have been accepted as the newest
Members of ALHIs luxury portfolio. Both hotels are part of The Gate Collection, joining sister property The
Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. (scheduled for opening in March 2016) , which is already a Member in ALHIs
portfolio. With Membership the two hotels have authorized ALHI to represent them to the North American M.I.C.E.
(meetings, incentives, conferences/conventions, and exhibitions) marketplace. The announcement was made by Jim
Schultenover, president of ALHI. Excellent Time to Support Paris with M&I ProgramsWe are very pleased to expand
our relationship with The Gate Collection team, and very proud to now represent these outstanding Parisian hotels to
the North American Meetings & Incentive marketplace, said Schultenover. There couldnt be a better time to support
the incredible city of Paris. The City of Light is a tremendous destination, with enormous appeal for groups and
attendees, and it is very important that the American market rallies and supports Paris now, just like we supported
New York City and New Orleans, with our meetings, conventions and incentive travel programs following their
impactful incidents. Additionally, considering currency changes over the past two years compared to the U.S. dollar,
Paris is on sale by over 20%! We look forward to showcasing these very fine hotels and their truly vibrant and
sophisticated city of Paris to the M.I.C.E. marketplace. Featuring a prime location facing the chic Parc Monceau, just
minutes from the Arc de Triomphe, the Five-Star the Hotel du Collectionneur Arc de Triomphe, Paris also is just a

district, on a picturesque cobbled street, the Four-Star Les Jardins du Marais, Paris provides an extraordinary
