Her appointment is a key part of Edgar Suites’ strategy to expand beyond its current base in France, where it operates 26 residences across 11 cities.

Market focus
This strategic appointment aligns with Edgar Suites’ vision of becoming a leader in urban hospitality, particularly through the transformation of office buildings into upscale hotel residences. The company’s business model is suited to meet the demand for high-quality, flexible accommodation options in urban centers.
After the expansion in France with the opening in Paris and in Nice, Edgar Suites accelerates its expansion in Spain and Portugal, with an emphasis on offering living spaces that cater to the needs of both professional and leisure travelers. Spain and Portugal are increasingly recognized as attractive investment destinations, particularly in real estate. Spain’s large and diverse cities, such as Madrid and Barcelona, offer robust returns due to high demand in both the tourism and business sectors. Similarly, Portugal, with its growing tech and startup scene, as well as Lisbon and Porto’s popularity among international investors, provides significant opportunities in hospitality and real estate. These markets are considered stable, with strong infrastructure, making them appealing for investors looking for long-term growth in Europe.
This latest step in the company’s development is part of a larger strategy to grow its portfolio, which currently includes over 1,400 rooms across France. With €160 million invested in real estate acquisitions over the past three years, Edgar Suites is well positioned to expand its offerings in key European markets, providing unique and experiential stays for discerning travelers.
