A taste of the French Riviera came to Australian shores last month, with a visit by Francois Gelly, Director of Sales for Hotel Belles Rives to meet with key trade partners.
A partner property of global luxury travel networks, Virtuoso and Serandipians, and a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, the independent, waterfront hotel is represented in Australia by La Collection’s Co-Founders Lea Seguier and Craig Farrell.
Australia is Hotel Belles Rives’ fourth largest market in terms of revenue and fifth largest for room nights, hence Gelly’s recent visit to thank travel advisors in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne for their ongoing support.
Pictured are a collection of candid shots from Gelly’s visit.
