Accor Hotel Chain

Where do Accor Hotels come from?

The Accor Hotels were first created in 1983 with the merger of Novotel, SIEH (Société d'Investissement et d'Exploitation Hôteliers) and Jacques Borel International. Before 1983, SIEH was established in 1967 as well as the very first Novotel in Lille (north of France).

Paul Dubrule and Gérard Pélisson created the model for the Accor strategy with SIEH in 1967. The idea was to create a sustainable business that would continually grow without creating either a speculation bubble in the hotel market, nor merely obtain short term profit. The Accor model is based on long term growth and sustainable development.

What are the Accor Hotels main differences from others?

To this very day, the Accor policy for growing continually with "people" "always in mind" is still an important detail. Two major differences in the Accor way of thinking can be seen in their legendary concept of affordable hotels for those on a budget. The famous Formula 1 came in 1985, while the concept was new and innovative. The other example is Accor Academy, France’s first corporate university for service activities also created in 1985.

Since 1985, Accor has grown in proportion to the world’s acceptance of these innovative ideas in hotels and services. Being both one of the worlds largest hotel chains as well as offering business services such as "Meeting Life Essentials", "Enhancing Well-Being", and "Improving Performance", Accor hotels uses its enormous structure to benefit its employees, stock holders and clients.
