Positioning across all segments
which comes alive with 10 lifestyle 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
