Groupe Floirat plans to recreate the success of its St.-Tropez nightclub in Monaco. This fall, the company will open the Black Legend Monaco, a club that will feature soul, funk and pop music. Unlike its St.-Tropez sibling, the Black Legend will serve tapas for lunch and dinner and offer entertainment all day.

The club will spice up a Monaco nightlife scene that's in desperate need of a high-end dance club. At the moment, dance-craving locals have only a handful of options.

The Black Legend and La Reserve give a glimpse of Groupe Floirat's future plans: to offer top-notch lodging and dancing in exclusive international markets. Next, the company will set its sights on France's Normandy region, where it will open another La Reserve Hotel.

Chevanne is already scouting a home for a potential Byblos Hotel spinoff. The U.S., Brazil and Spain are rumored to be possible locations.
