AccorAccor, under the leadership of CEO Sébastien Bazin, is transitioning from a period of frequent restructuring to a focused phase of strategic execution. After undergoing four major reorganisations over the past decade, the Paris-based hospitality giant is now concentrating on solidifying its market position and enhancing its luxury offerings.
Strategic Shift Towards Execution
Bazin emphasised that Accor’s era of constant reinvention has concluded. The company’s current priority is to implement its established goals effectively, moving away from continuous structural changes. This strategic shift aims to streamline operations and focus on delivering consistent value to stakeholders.
Enhancing Luxury and Lifestyle Segments
Historically, Accor has lagged behind its American counterparts in developing lifestyle-oriented hotels and expanding its loyalty programme. To address this, the company has intensified its efforts in the luxury and ultra-luxury sectors. A notable initiative is the partnership with French luxury conglomerate LVMH to revitalise the iconic Orient Express brand. This collaboration includes the launch of two new Orient Express trains scheduled for next year, aiming to redefine luxury travel experiences.

Commitment to Brand Integrity
Accor is actively refining its portfolio by removing properties that fail to meet its brand standards. This deliberate culling process is occurring at a rate twice that of its American competitors and is set to continue throughout the year. This initiative underscores Accor’s dedication to maintaining high-quality offerings and ensuring brand consistency across its properties.
Navigating Environmental Challenges: Accor’s Dedicaiton to Sustainability
In response to escalating climate concerns, Accor has made strategic decisions regarding its expansion plans. Recently, the company cancelled two proposed hotel openings in Mykonos, citing environmental risks such as water shortages and increased fire hazards. This move reflects Accor’s commitment to assessing climate risks meticulously and prioritising sustainable growth in its global operations.
Financial Outlook and Growth Prospects
Accor reported robust financial results for 2024, achieving record performance levels. Looking ahead, Bazin expressed optimism about the company’s growth trajectory, anticipating ‘super good’ growth over the next 5 to 20 years. This positive outlook is bolstered by the expected full resurgence of international travel by 2025 and a projected increase in corporate rates by low-to-mid single digits.
In summary, Accor’s strategic focus on executing its established goals, enhancing its luxury portfolio, maintaining brand integrity, and addressing environmental challenges positions the company for sustained growth in the evolving hospitality landscape.
