Patrick Pariente, who now heads a real estate group, first co-founded Naf-Naf with his brother in 1973. Twenty years later, after selling the brand to Vivarte, he then shifted his focus to real estate before creating luxury hotel brand Maisons Pariente with his two daughters, Leslie and Kimberley.
With a penchant for exceptional locations, bespoke service quality, friendly ambiances and a passion for contemporary art, Maisons Pariente was born out of a desire to explore a new and bold approach to hotel hospitality by adding a twist of zest, to host differently, as though at home, and to create a unique identity for each legendary place.
