Accor

Accor is a hospitality group founded in 1967 and headquartered in France, operating in more than 110 countries. It employs over 290,000 people, whom it calls Heartists®, across a portfolio of more than 5,600 hotels, 10,000 restaurants and bars, and wellness centres. The group spans the full range of lodging, from luxury to economy, and its work covers hospitality operations, food and beverage, wellness and spa services, and sustainable tourism.

The portfolio comprises more than 45 brands, among them Raffles, Fairmont, Sofitel, Novotel and ibis. Accor describes its model as a fully integrated ecosystem of hotels, restaurants, bars and wellness facilities rather than a lodging business alone, serving millions of guests each year.

The company states a commitment to responsible hospitality and sustainable development, business ethics, and continuous innovation. It defines its purpose around value creation for guests, team members, owners, partners and communities, and describes its culture as one of inclusion, with employees positioned as hospitality experts who place people at the heart of their work.
