RENDEZ-VOUS AT HOTEL LA SUITE WITH FRANÇOIS-XAVIER DUSSOL
Far away from the PR-machinery, award ceremonies and list mania there are hoteliers that work silently under the radar, relying more on word of mouth than glossy magazine rankings. François-Xavier Dussol is that hotelier. Falling in love with Rio over a decade ago, he left his secure job as a banker and moved permanently from Paris to set up Rio’s first boutique hotel, La Maison, and, more recently, La Suite—what might be the world’s most loveable hotel.
