"We then had a family rent it for 16 months, and now it is finally ready for guests.” ... “We have heads of state, very wealthy business people, and celebrities renting this space" ... Occupancy rates for the penthouse currently hover around 50 percent, [Lordonnois] says.

penthouse had been put up for sale, for $60 million, in 2008, as part of the hotel’s residential side. It never sold. But recently, the Mark’s owners say, hotel guests have expressed a desire for a larger space, prompting the conversion into a hotel suite. The penthouse has already had its first guest—during the United Nations General Assembly [which ran September 15 to October 5] and as of press time has had more than 20 other parties inquiring.

Belmond bought by LVMH, as reported today.
https://www.ft.com/content/12a03e2c-...0-57a2a826423e
Knowing LVMH they will likely not merge with Cheval Blanc. Interesting move certainly and a few properties would need some investment.

if melia (sheraton) iguazu owner is considering FS reflag, might be a longer term plan, as initial renovation is only being quoted as $20m in press
seems 4 suites plus club (red) level , while entry rooms only 25>31m2
albwardy.com/business-portfolio/hospitality-lifestyle
wonder if their FS partner HPL / ong would do JV
"Iguazu-Madrid air route opens in May 2019" (press) - FS does open madrid soon
