brands to be developed internationally
Travelers are always more attuned to unique brands, with strong personalities, that are
simultaneously urban working environments and places to socialize and enjoy new
experiences. Seeing works of art, tasting original dishes and cocktails, enjoying the scent
of floral bouquets and essential oils, touching fine wood and touchscreens - the lifestyle
market continues to grow and has the most important growth in the industry, and Accor
is awakening our 5 senses through ground-breaking experiences. Each brand is
positioned in a clearly distinct space. Accor’s lifestyle hotels are welcoming and modern
locations that offer:
Unique destinations
Bold interiors, often created by renowned designers
Open living spaces for working, socializing and enjoying new experiences
Music and entertainment
Friendly, open and informal teams
And a rich and varied F&B offering, which represents a significant part of the hotel’s
revenue: restaurant concepts, bars, clubs, mixology lounges, etc., in spaces opening
out onto the city: on terraces and rooftops
