AccorThrough a forward-thinking approach, our Design & Technical Services (D&TS) team brings our brands to life, ensuring each hotel resonates with guests and maximizes value for owners. Design plays a pivotal role in embedding brand identity, fostering guest loyalty, and transforming hotels into dynamic social hubs where travelers and locals connect. It is also a catalyst for innovation, driving new hospitality concepts, integrating cutting-edge technology, and advancing sustainable solutions that reduce environmental impact while maximizing operational efficiency and long-term profitability.

Enriching the Guest Experience with Creativity, Emotion & Brand Identity
Design is a powerful medium for storytelling, shaping the atmosphere, emotions, and connections within a hotel. At Accor, every property is carefully designed to establish a clear brand identity while offering an experience that genuinely resonates with its audience. More than just places to stay, our hotels become vibrant social hubs, anchored in their local culture and designed to foster genuine connections, in line with today’s travelers’ quest for authenticity and local immersion. By blending creativity with functionality, Accor ensures that every hotel embodies its unique brand DNA while remaining adaptable to owner and market needs.
Each of our brands has its own DNA, identity, and design strategy, with a different interpretation for each hotel. This is what enables us to answer any owner’s expectations.
Embedding Sustainability in Every Aspect of Design
Sustainability is embedded in Accor’s design philosophy, ensuring that every project contributes to a more responsible hospitality industry. Beyond carbon and water reduction efforts, our approach focuses on creating high-performing spaces that enhance guest experience and operational value. Thoughtfully designed interiors integrate natural elements to enhance well-being, creating welcoming environments that benefit both guests and team members. From ergonomic break rooms that provide a restful retreat for teams to back-of-house areas optimized for functionality, reducing stress and boosting efficiency, every space is designed with comfort and experience in mind. In guest areas, biophilic design elements and carefully curated layouts foster relaxation and connection, elevating the overall stay experience. Strategic use of natural lighting reduces reliance on artificial sources, optimizing energy use and lowering operational costs. By revitalizing existing structures, we preserve architectural heritage while ensuring our spaces remain adaptable, forward-thinking, and environmentally responsible. Thoughtfully designed, our hotels provide a responsible and inspiring experience for both guests and team members.
Sustainability has always been part of Accor’s DNA. The key to avoiding stranded assets in 20 years is to carefully consider the ESG components of our hotels today, ensuring we build for the long run
