“It’s the most spectacular view in the world,” the French luxury brand’s chairman and CEO said in an interview.

Michael Burke won’t be enjoying his office at Louis Vuitton’s Paris headquarters for much longer. In an interview with WWD, the chairman and CEO of the French luxury brand revealed the house’s plans to transform Louis Vuitton’s corporate offices into a sprawling complex that includes the world’s first Louis Vuitton hotel and its largest store.

“It’s the most spectacular view in the world,” he said, describing a panorama stretching from the Eiffel Tower to Notre Dame.

Parent company LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton has radically transformed the surrounding neighborhood over the past 18 months with the unveiling of the renovated La Samaritaine department store and Cheval Blanc hotel and the opening of the first Paris branch of Italian patisserie Cova.

“Parisians are finally rediscovering it. They have embraced it. There is street music now at 11pm. out here. When we took it over, this was a no man’s land, if not worse. No one in their right mind would walk here at night,” Burke said.
