In Versailles, the future of the Trianon Palace depends on businessman Michel Ohayon.

What do Camaïeu, Go Sport and Trianon Palace in Versailles (Yvelines) have in common? These three brands are owned by businessman Michel Ohayon. The first went bankrupt last year. The second has just been transferred to management due to the financial difficulties of its owner.

As for the famous 5-star hotel in Versailles, there can be turbulent weeks here too. The magnificent building with 200 rooms has been owned since 2014 by “Financière immobilière bordelaise”, the businessman’s holding company, which was also taken over on February 15…

“The future of Trianon is uncertain from a business point of view, we don’t really know what the administrators will decide, but in the event of a forced liquidation, the institution may change owners. I say the owner, not the manager, ”analyzes a source in the economic community.

Little threat of employment

Accuracy is important: if the “walls” belong to Michel Ohayon, then the hotel is managed by the powerful Hilton group with a turnover of almost … 9 billion euros. Good financial condition, which should appease the approximately 200 employees of a 5-star hotel.

“For jobs to be at risk, in the event of liquidation, the hotel must be put up for sale, and no one should buy this establishment. Unlikely. Versailles is a brand known all over the world and buyers will be eager to buy this place,” said another connoisseur.

Trianon, which is over a century old, adjoins the park of the Palace of Versailles. Proof of his prestige is that he regularly greens major sports teams. English rugby players stayed here during the 2007 FIFA World Cup in France. And this year, it is those from Wales who will be packing their bags in September and October for the 2023 tournament.
