Dorchester Collection has announced the appointment of Philippe Leboeuf as chief executive officer (CEO), effective June 2025.
Leboeuf has in-depth experience across regional roles in the luxury sector in multiple continents. He has been director general of Concorde Hotels, owned by Taittinger, where he oversaw 19 owned and 70 affiliated hotels.
Additionally, he was a board director of Leading Hotels of the World and has held many other senior leadership positions such as regional vice president of operations for Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, vice president operations for Rosewood and general manager of Claridge’s.
In his most recent position, as managing director of Raffles London, he oversaw the opening of the hotel.
A graduate of Cornell University and HEC Management School in Paris, Leboeuf has been awarded the Knight of the Legion of Honour by the French government.
According to Dorchester Collection, Leboeuf’s strategic vision, leadership, expertise in operations and organisational culture, combined with his extensive experience with new openings, will continue to position the group at the “forefront of luxury hospitality”.
Leboeuf said: “As Dorchester Collection hotels write the history of their destinations and have a special alchemy that brings them together, I’m greatly looking forward to taking the company legacy and storied heritage to the next stage.”
Christopher Cowdray, president of Dorchester Collection, added: “Keeping the Dorchester Collection’s renowned culture and values alive was key in the selection of Philippe as CEO. Driven by purpose and excellence, he is highly respected globally by many stakeholders including owners, the travel trade, the media and partners, and especially employees and guests.”
