130. Kimberley Cohen, Artistic Director of Maisons Pariente on Building a Hotel Collection with Your Family & How to Cherish Life Lessons You Learn From Those You Admire

Today's guest, Kimberley Cohen, left home at an early age to discover the world. Kimberley spent 8 years in the United States splitting her time between New York and Los Angeles. She studied at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles and her first professional experience was in fashion. Inspired by the pioneering business spirit of the West Coast, she quickly embarked on the company’s great adventure, launching a seasonal furnished rental business in Los Angeles.  In 2015, equipped with this international experience, she joined the growing family group and became Maisons Pariente’s Artistic Director. Her focus is on the identity of hotel projects, their positioning, promotion, and their sourcing. Curious about the spirit of the times, nothing is more exciting to her than imagining the atmosphere of a place, from the tableware to the olfactory signature and the choice of bedroom amenities, a special touch for guests of the Maisons Pariente hotels - which include some of the most beloved hotels in the world!
