Hospitality & brands

Lead · Create · Pass on · Support

Hospitality is the group's first trade and the heart of its know-how. Since 2015, we have led establishments, created brands that give them staying power, trained the people who bring them to life, and supported the operators who join our network. Four trades built around one standard: serve the experience, deliver the results, pass on the know-how.

01 —Hotel management
Armody Consulting

Taking the lead —
and owning the results.

Since 2016, we have held general management mandates for hotel companies — full responsibility for an establishment, from its strategy to its day-to-day operations, from the relationship with its shareholders to the performance of its profit and loss account. A leader's trade, practised over the long term, on assets we choose for the quality of their positioning and their prospects.

Steering
Strategy, management, results — leadership assumed over the long term, focused on performance and value creation.
Operations
Teams, quality, guest experience — the day-to-day held to a high standard, with no compromise on what makes a good hotel.
Development
Positioning, revenue, asset value — each establishment driven along a growth trajectory of its own.
02 —Brand development & franchising
Armody Consulting — French Theory franchisor

Creating brands
that travel beyond their walls.

The French Theory workspace

An establishment is managed. A brand is imagined, built and deployed. We create hospitality brands and bring them to life as networks. French Theory is the first: a concept born in the Latin Quarter, a structured brand platform, a binding standards manual, and a franchise network we develop with operators chosen for their exacting standards.

Concept creation
From idea to manifesto — the identity, aesthetic and experience designed before the walls.
Brand standards
A binding manual that guarantees the consistency of the French Theory experience in every house of the network.
Network stewardship
Operator selection, franchisee support, quality control, brand development.

03 —Consulting & training
Armody Consulting

Putting our know-how
at the service of others.

Our experience of hotel leadership and brand creation has a value — that of being transferable. We support hospitality companies and investors on the decisions that shape their trajectory, and we train the people who practise the trade every day.

Management consulting
Analysis, structuring and support for operating decisions — positioning, pricing, organisation, battle plan.
Training
Passing on the know-how of hospitality to teams and leaders — because a trade is passed on, not read.
Project support
Alongside project owners, from opportunity study to opening — with the same standard we apply in our own houses.
04 —Services to establishments
Armody Services

Supporting the people
who bring the houses to life.

An establishment is also a presence — online, on social networks, in the way it speaks to the world. We support the hotels of the French Theory network and their teams on these dimensions, with the same standard we apply to our own houses.

Social media
Editorial line, content and community management — each establishment given a voice of its own.
Digital communication
Materials, campaigns, the houses' online visibility — the brand served with constancy and precision.
Support services
Operational support services, calibrated to each establishment and its moment in life.
