Article 1416

Book Four: Real Securities · Section Three: Privilege · Chapter Two: Types of Privilege · Part One: General Privileges and Special Privileges over Movables

1. Amounts due to a hotel proprietor from a guest for accommodation, provisions, and expenses incurred for their account shall have a privilege over the baggage brought by the guest to the hotel. 2. The privilege shall extend to the baggage, even if it is not owned by the guest, if it is not proven that the hotelier knew of the third party's right at the time the baggage was brought into the hotel, provided that the baggage is not stolen or lost. The hotelier may object to the removal of the baggage from the hotel as long as they have not been fully paid. If the baggage is removed despite their objection or without their knowledge, the right of privilege shall remain on it, without prejudice to the rights acquired by a bona fide third party on these assets.
