Luxury giant LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton has acquired the Hotel Saint-Barth Isle de France from majority owner Adventurous Journeys Capital Partners.

The 39-room boutique hotel has a spa and restaurant, set on the shore of Baie des Flamands.

LVMH’s hotel management will be operating the hotel, as part of what it called a “natural extension of LVMH’s activities across the luxury spectrum.”

The hotel has regularly appeared in rankings of the region’s best hotel properties.
