The Groupe Télégramme is accelerating its territorial growth strategy by investing in high-end hospitality.

On Friday, July 10, 2026, the group formalized the acquisition of the Grand Bé hotel, a 4-star establishment of reference located within the city walls in Saint-Malo, in close proximity to the future National Maritime Museum.

This operation marks a key milestone for the company, which intends to rely on its local roots and its multiple areas of expertise to consolidate the attractiveness of this major Saint-Malo address.

Ideally designed to appeal to both tourist and professional clientele, the property features a bar, a rooftop, dining spaces as well as a wellness area with a spa.

For business tourism, the hotel also offers facilities dedicated to seminars, meetings and corporate events.

As part of this overall business turnaround, the group integrates a industry-recognized professional with over twenty years of experience, Marc Scognamiglio, who will oversee the property’s future alongside the teams already in place.


Strong local and event-driven synergies on the horizon

Integrating the Grand Bé into Groupe Télégramme will generate clear complementarities with the acquiror’s historical lines of business, notably in the sectors of media, communications and events.

The group plans to capitalize on its deep knowledge of the region and on its network of partners to develop the professional seminars segment, maximize opportunities around business tourism and enrich the overall customer experience.

This ambition is directly shared by Régis Rassouli, Deputy CEO for Development of Groupe Télégramme: “Le Grand Bé is a renowned address for the quality of its welcome, its exceptional location and the commitment of its teams. Our ambition is to continue its development in the respect of its identity, by relying on the Group’s expertise to strengthen its attractiveness and support its evolution. ”

To support this modernization, a investment plan will begin by the end of 2026 and span 2027.

The budget envelopes will be primarily allocated to the complete renovation of the wellness space, to specific interior fittings and to the redesign of the decoration, while ensuring the venue’s historic assets are preserved.

According to Jean-Baptiste Pavin, CEO of Groupe Télégramme, “Le Grand Bé is an emblematic establishment that benefits from a history, an identity and a recognized know-how. Its acquisition illustrates our commitment to invest sustainably in value-creating projects that are useful to the territories.

Whether it is informing, supporting businesses or organizing major events, our ambition remains the same: to create connections, to deliver high-quality experiences and to contribute to the radiance of the territories in which we are involved.
