Together, they bring 46 years of international luxury hospitality experience to the resort.
The appointment and promotion come during Le Meridien Tahiti's property-wide renovation, which is scheduled to be complete in December 2010. The multi-million-dollar project, which includes enhancements to all public spaces and accommodations, will result in a contemporary, culturally refined and sophisticated atmosphere across the resort, bringing Le Meridien Tahiti in line with new standards for the Le Meridien brand.

Furthermore, Nicolas Orget has done a fantastic job as Director of Sales and Marketing for Le Meridien Tahiti and Le Meridien Bora Bora over the past three years. We're eager to have him implement creative initiatives as he ascends the management ladder,” said Vincent Guerin, Director of Sales and Marketing of Le Meridien Tahiti and Bora Bora.
Drawing upon 27 years experience with the Le Meridien brand, Nicolas Gautier is responsible for all operations of Le Meridien Tahiti as General Manager. He joins the resort from Le Meridien Mandji in Gabon and Le Meridien Douala in Cameroon, where he served as General Manager at both properties.
