(Singapore, 15 June 2018) – Secret Retreats, a collection of more than 100 independently owned boutique hotels, restaurants and cruises across Asia, has partnered with France-based les Collectionneurs, a community of restaurateurs, hoteliers and travellers primarily in France and Italy presided over by chef Alain Ducasse, and Romantik Hotels & Restaurants offering experiences primarily in Germany and Austria. By cooperating together, the communities, which share the same values, vision and selection criteria for their members, aim to introduce new travellers to their respective geographic destinations.
The partnerships will help serve each communities’ existing members and clients by promoting the other’s offerings allowing travellers in both Europe and Asia to meet passionate restaurant owners and hoteliers and discover the richness of authentic hospitality on these two continents.

“For les Collectionneurs, curiosity is a beautiful quality. It is curiosity that brings us to know each other, to visit, to explore, and to enrich new landscapes, flavours and experiences. Curiosity has no boundaries and when you have the taste for travel, which is true for les Collectionneurs, it does not stop at the borders of Europe. With Secret Retreats, we share this taste for travel and are pleased to see our community grow to another community that champions the same values,” said Xavier Alberti, CEO of les Collectionneurs.

“Secret Retreats shares a common objective with les Collectionneurs – to continually discover and help other people discover. We share the same commitment to quality and service and we also like to share our "secrets" – our knowledge and our terroirs – with other travellers. By entering into this partnership, we are certain that travellers who have trusted Secret Retreats over the past six years to explore Asia will now find the same insight and intimate experiences across Europe with les Collectionneurs’ exclusive restaurateur and hotelier members,” said Secret Retreats Managing Director, Stéphane Junca.
