Accor Hotels prides itself on its ability to cater to sports professionals, from elite teams to amateur athletes. We understand the unique requirements of these guests and have designed our facilities to meet their specific needs. Our hotels offer comprehensive services, including dietary accommodations, specialised training spaces, and gym facilities. Coaches can conduct meetings in our well-equipped conference rooms, while athletes have access to massage and recovery services to ensure peak performance.
Hosting sports teams requires a deep understanding of the nuances of each discipline. At Accor, we recognize the importance of this and adapt our services accordingly. For instance, football teams can benefit from some of our large, open spaces for team practices, while individual athletes might prefer the privacy of our dedicated training rooms. Our commitment to flexibility ensures that every guest, regardless of their sport, receives the highest level of care and attention.
Our commitment to the spirit of sport extends beyond athletes. Supporters and enthusiasts who travel far and wide to witness these events are a large part of what makes these events so special and memorable. Our hotels provide an inviting and comfortable environment where fans can relax and rejuvenate after an exhilarating day. From cosy lounges to lively bars, our properties are designed to enhance the overall experience, making every stay as exciting as the event itself.
Supporters can enjoy the convenience of our locations, which are often just a short distance from major sports venues. After a thrilling match, fans can return to the comfort of their rooms or gather with fellow supporters in our communal areas to celebrate and share their experiences. Our staff are always on hand to provide local recommendations, whether you’re looking for the best places to eat, drink, or explore the city’s culture.
The focus on guest experience becomes paramount, especially when hosting guests from every corner of the world. Hotels and service providers can enhance their offerings by providing themed experiences, such as sports-inspired menus, athlete meet-and-greet sessions, and exclusive fan zones. Shuttle services to and from event venues can add value, ensuring a seamless experience for guests. It’s about creating a sense of belonging, where every visitor feels like they are part of something special.
Guests often enjoy the comfort of a hotel brand that they have heard about or stayed at before when booking their stay in an entirely foreign country. Our incredibly diverse portfolio of hotels in most major cities in Europe and North Africa is something our members cherish very much.
As the world becomes more conscious of sustainability, major sports events provide an opportunity to showcase eco-friendly practices on a global stage with an impactful message. Implementing green initiatives, recycling, promoting local culture and heritage, and contributing to the social and economic fabric of the host cities can leave a positive legacy. Sustainable tourism ensures that the benefits of hosting major events are felt for years to come, preserving the environment and enriching the community.
Major sports events inspire beyond the realm of competition. They are a testament to the human spirit, determination, and unity. Visitors and locals alike are inspired by the stories of athletes overcoming obstacles, achieving greatness, and demonstrating sportsmanship. These events remind us of our shared humanity and the power of coming together to celebrate excellence.
In the end, the spirit of big sporting events is about more than just the competition; it’s about the shared moments, the celebrations, and the sense of community that they create.
