The hotel, opened on 6 November 2006, is owned by the Groupe Lucien Barrière[1][2] and managed by Fabrice Moizan and Christian Rossi. Fouquet's Barrière has been developed with the collaboration of the architect Édouard François and designer Jacques Garcia.

The bar, named Le Lucien, was decorated by Garcia, and its head barman is Oliver Meurice.[3]
