"Le Méridien Bora Bora is temporarily closed for renovation. We look forward to welcoming you back in the fourth quarter of 2023 for a fully enhanced experience."

The people I talked to (including some who know people, that are working on the construction), said that the hotel will not be finished in 2023.

So, far, nobody indicated that they knew for sure what the new brand will be, but there is a consensus that it will not be "Le Meridien". A local guy, that does not live far, said that he had heard that the hotel will become a Westin.
It's very hard to believe that the owner would select "Westin" as the new brand for his property. In my opinion,Le Meridien is one notch above the Westin and the hotel is in French Polynesia, so selecting a brand that originated in France over the Westin would be a no brainer. I would understand if the new brand was a W or an Edition or a Luxury Collection or a Ritz-Carlton (my least favorite of the 4), as those brands are considered as higher categories in comparison to Le Meridien.

Monsieur Louis Wane (also the owner of the Conrad Bora Bora), if you read this post, my recommendation is that you keep the Le Meridien brand for this property.
