By NBC News staffThe founder of the French fashion label Zadig & Voltaire said an exclusive Parisian hotel the company plans to open in 2014 will not be open to Chinese tourists, according to Vogue UK (http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/2012/09/28/zadig-and-voltaire-to-open-paris-hotel). The label later said the comment by the brand's founder and owner, Thierry Gillier, was misunderstood.
Follow @NBCNewsWorld (http://twitter.com/NBCNewsWorld) The hotel will be located in a private mansion on the city's Left Bank.
"This was a project dear to our hearts," the brand's founder and owner, Thierry Gillier, told WWD (http://i.imgur.com/OriRr.jpg). "It will be a slightly private hotel, not open to everybody, with 40 rooms. We are going to select guests. It won't be open to Chinese tourists, for example. There is a lot of demand in Paris -- many people are looking for quiet hotels with a certain privacy."

There must be a reason why the Chinese in particular will not be allowed.
