Accor Hotels and Services

Accor is a world-leading hospitality group that offers a diverse range of services including hotels, resorts, and vacation rentals. Founded in France, it has expanded its footprint globally, operating thousands of properties across nearly 110 countries. The manufacturing and service delivery of the Accor brand occur locally in each country where their properties are situated, reflecting a globalized service model tailored to regional markets.

The group's history dates back to 1967 when Paul Dubrule and Gérard Pélisson founded the Novotel brand, which eventually evolved into the Accor Group. Over the decades, Accor has become a major player in the global tourism industry through organic growth and strategic acquisitions, such as Fairmont, Raffles, and Swissôtel. Today, it remains a publicly-traded French multinational, maintaining its headquarters in Issy-les-Moulineaux, France, and continues to be the ultimate owner of its extensive portfolio of luxury and economy brands.
