L Catterton and Cedar Capital Launch Platform with Hotel Acquisitions in France and Portugal

Shared 30 March, 2026

Cedar Capital Partners and L Catterton announced the launch of a strategic joint venture to build a luxury hospitality platform across Europe and North America. The partnership will pursue an investment strategy focused on the acquisition, transformation, and repositioning of five-star and luxury hotels in prime urban and resort destinations.

The platform is designed to capitalise on strong secular growth in global luxury travel demand and a structural supply-demand imbalance in the high-end hospitality segment. The joint venture aims to assemble a curated portfolio of 10–15 landmark assets.

Mathieu Le Bozec, Managing Partner and Founder of L Catterton Real Estate, said, “We see a compelling opportunity to build a differentiated luxury hospitality platform by combining our deep consumer insight and real estate capabilities with Cedar’s sector expertise. This partnership is well-positioned to capitalise on strong tailwinds in global luxury travel and to create significant long-term value through the repositioning of iconic assets in highly sought-after destinations.”

Ramsey Mankarious, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Cedar, added, “We are excited to partner with L Catterton Real Estate to pursue a targeted and scalable strategy in the luxury hospitality sector. With a shared vision and complementary expertise, we believe this platform will enable us to unlock the full potential of unique properties and deliver exceptional experiences for guests in key destinations across Europe and the United States.”
