Who are we ?

Who are we ?

The hotel business is a superb and totally indispensable part of the travel and tourism chain. Airlines and tour operators have had to adapt to survive, but no matter how you get to your vacation destination, accommodation is a must.

By considering only “triple A” locations in French tourist and business destinations, we create a real estate portfolio that is enhanced and maintained through rigorous operations.

Real estate is at the heart of our strategy without ignoring the value of retail. By optimizing and bringing in our management and distribution know-how, we also create value in the fund.

Our team covers the full range of skills required to successfully complete our acquisition and management of our own and third-party hotels.

Entrepreneur, passionate and professional of the hotel industry, Franck Manna began his career in the Service sector where he held commercial and managerial positions in various European groups before creating his own company in Spain, DK, specialized in naturopathic products distributed throughout Europe.

In 2006, he joined the Park&Suites Group, specialized in the management and operation of hotels and apartment hotels for leisure and business.

For nearly 10 years, as General Manager and then Chairman, he worked to make this Group the French leader in the apartment-hotel market, an objective that was achieved in 2014 with the merger of Park&Suites and Appart'City with 120 3 to 4 star establishments, more than 1,000 employees and a turnover of around €190 million.

Franck Manna was also President of Suitétudes, a company with 30 student residences and a turnover of €15 million. In 2015, once this project was completed, Franck Manna founded the company HFM.

At the end of 2006, after three years working in an accounting firm, Zakia Labroumi joined the leader of all-inclusive vacations, Club Méditerranée, as a village manager at a time when the latter was reviewing its marketing strategy and deciding to move upmarket in its services.

In 2009, Zakia Labroumi joined the Park&Suites Group, today the N°1 3 to 4 star aparthotel in France, as Administrative & Financial Manager. She manages a team of 20 accountants in charge of the accounts of 120 aparthotels generating more than 190 M€ of annual turnover.

Guillaume Girou

With 20 years of experience in the hotel and restaurant sector, Guillaume Girou is a recognized expert in our sector of activity.
