Didier Le Calvez  is a living legend in the hotel industry, although he would hate us to say so.  When we met he was straight off a long international flight but you wouldn't have known it; his answers were razor sharp and full of insight.   He was charming, interesting, and ... tall.  And keen to show off his new toy, an iPad loaded with photographs of the beautiful Hôtel Le Bristol.   Le Calvez joined Hôtel Le Bristol Paris in March 2010. However he has been a prominent figure in the international luxury hotel industry for 35 years, many of which were spent with the Four Seasons group, where he was Vice-Chairman in France and Portugal. The New York Plaza, Hôtel George V in Paris, the Regent in Singapore and New York's Pierre hotel, have all benefitted from his magic touch.   It was to M. Le Calvez that the Four Seasons group entrusted the reopening of the Hôtel George V in Paris in 1999. Under his management the George V became one of Paris' most illustrious hotels and was named World's Best Hotel by Andrew Harper's Hideaway Report seven years running and World's Best Hotel by Institutional Investor.   Throughout his career he seems to have had the ability to make every hotel in which he worked an exceptional place.   Hôtel Le Bristol was this month named one of only eight French Hotels to be awarded the title of 'Palace'  by the French Government.
