The hotel industry in France has developed to offer comfort worthy of the French art of living, as well as services befitting the world's leading tourist destination. Many hotels are brimming with furnishings steeped in their history and characteristic of their identity.

In the case of a move, or a desire to renew furniture, ADER Entreprises & Patrimoine aims to enhance the value of banks’ assets through an auction organized in several stages. First of all, a detailed inventory is carried out on site, to estimate the value of each item. This process is followed by researches carried out by our team, often in collaboration with company historians and experts, leading to the production of a sales catalog containing photos and estimates of each item. At last, an organisational process is put in place, from the running of the auction to the delivery of the last lots, including storage and delivery of the sold items. This tailor-made service enables our team to intervene quickly, discreetly and efficiently.

ADER Entreprises & Patrimoine has become one of France's leading auction houses for palace furniture. The first hotel to promote its heritage through an auction organized by ADER Entreprises & Patrimoine was the Hôtel St James Albany, located on rue de Rivoli in Paris. It was closely followed by the Hôtel de Crillon, then by the Hôtel Le Meurice, which was the subject of two sales. The Grand Hôtel Intercontinental came next, followed by the former Hôtel W-Paris Opéra. In addition to these renowned Parisian brands, ADER Entreprises & Patrimoine was in Bordeaux for a sale of the 4-star Hôtel Burdigala and two others for Les Sources de Caudalie.

These auctions give new life to furniture steeped in history. They attract professionals in their search for high-quality furnishings, meticulously maintained over the years. They also interest private individuals, who find the opportunity to preserve objects that remind them of unique moments spent in an iconic hotel.

As a symbol of the circular economy and of reuse, auctions have often been used to build meaningful projects, whether for solidarity or to finance renovations.
