Pascal Bataillé, CEO of Adonis hotels & Résidences
TourMaG.com - Can you introduce Adonis Hotels & Résidences to us?
P.B: “In 1993, I co-founded the hotel chain Elysées Ouest in the Paris region but I sold my shares and created the hotel group Bataillé in 2001, composed of around sixty hotels. And in 2010, I decided to launch Adonis Hotels & Residences to respond to the demand of hotel owners wishing to enjoy a brand image through this emblem. In this way, this new brand completed the offer of the Bataillé Hotel Group. Today, Adonis Hotels & Residences includes around twenty hotels throughout France.
For professionals, Adonis Hotels & Residences, is a voluntary chain on a human-scale, that gathers hotels and tourism residences in France under one umbrella brand around a common concept, with the shared willingness of being represented and enhancing their businesses.
As a hotelier, this is a product I would have liked to be offered which is why I created it. To accomplish this, we are on all distribution channels: tour-operators, travel agencies, companies, work councils, Internet reservation platforms (OTAs), coach companies…
For individuals, the identity of our brand goes through not only the diversity of the services offered but also through the specificity of every hotel.
Our hotels are not standardized. We provide hotels with a soul through decoration that varies in each establishment. They are 2 and 3 star hotels under one same name with a large choice of destinations.”

TourMaG.com - Why did you choose to open two new hotels in Annecy and Lourdes?
P.B.: “Adonis Lourdes and Adonis Annecy are two independent hotels that voluntarily chose the Adonis marketing and brand last December.
The cities of Annecy and Lourdes have a strong touristic potential due to their charm, and cultural heritage. These destinations were requested to us several times by different distributors. The Catholic pilgrimage center of Lourdes welcomes many visitors annually who come from every continent.
This is the 3rd most visited Catholic spot in the world after the Vatican and Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe Basilica in Mexico. As for Annecy, it is often called the Venice of the Alps, it enchants visitors with its famous lake and old town filled with meandering canals that attract crowds all year long.”
