Your Meeting, Your Signature: Pullman, Fairmont, or Mama Shelter?
The New Language of MICE
Today’s event world isn’t a simple calculation of chairs and square footage. It’s about the alchemy that happens once everyone’s in the room.
The new generation of events demands more than four walls and a flipchart; it needs energy, identity, and serious intent. That’s why Accor’s portfolio, spanning premium, luxury, and lifestyle, isn’t just selling venue space. They’re providing the platform for your purpose.
- Pullman is the Smooth Operator: Design meets discipline. This is where high-octane productivity finds its pulse.
- Fairmont is the Grand Gesture: Timeless, utterly graceful, and designed for the kind of meetings people talk about for months, long after the last champagne flute is cleared.
- Mama Shelter is the Disruptor: Loud, profoundly human, and joyfully unfiltered. This is when your event is an experience, not an obligation.
Three brands. Three powerful temperaments. One goal: to ensure every meeting feels less like a task and more like a story worth telling.

Pullman: The Modernist with a Pulse
Pullman doesn’t do “meetings.” It does movements.
Since its rebirth in 2007, Pullman has completely redefined premium hospitality by moving beyond industry norms and setting its own. It’s a daring blend of high design and high performance, all packaged with a sleek French twist and an international, unstoppable tempo.
This is the brand for the planner who craves structure but lives for momentum. You’re the one who colour-codes their agenda just as meticulously as their Aperol Spritz menu.
Everything in a Pullman feels kinetic; the lighting shifts, the spaces morph, the tech moves with you, quietly and flawlessly. Event teams operate less like administrators and more like expert stage directors, ready to choreograph your success.
Consider Pullman Paris Montparnasse: a philosophy scaled sky-high. The C2 venue, a 1,500 sqm creative arena, flexes between blockbuster fashion shows and high-level product launches. Step onto the 800 sqm Grande Terrasse, and even the most seasoned executive might pause mid-email for the view.
Or take Pullman Paris Centre Bercy, a modernist wonderland designed by Tom Dixon where art seamlessly meets business. Think cinema screens, smart coworking lounges, and gallery walls. A meeting space that inherently feels like a conversation starter rather than a convention centre.
Pullman is the premium middle ground where business acumen and unbridled creativity shake hands. The tempo is fast, the design is smart, and the energy never drops a beat.
If Pullman is your dynamic partner in crime, Fairmont is your standing ovation.
Luxury here is never about excess; it’s about emotion. It’s about details so well considered, they elevate basic function into pure theatre.
The brand’s motto, ‘Make Special Happen’, is a powerful commitment to that emotional impact. In a world oversaturated with meetings, their strategy is to craft an experience so refined, so felt, that it transcends logistics and becomes part of a personal, executive history. They aren’t just selling space; they’re selling legacy.
At Fairmont Le Montreux Palace, that commitment is framed by the stunning Lake Geneva horizon. The Belle Époque façade sets a majestic scene for 15 internal venues hosting everything from intimate gala dinners to global corporate summits. The Léman AB can seat 1,200 guests under soaring dome windows, while the historic Salle des Fêtes still pulses with the spirit of celebration: all chandeliers, stage lights, and powerful nostalgia.
Then there is Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech, where business looks out onto the Atlas Mountains. With four venues and capacity for 600, it perfectly balances authentic Moroccan warmth with cosmopolitan flair. Here, strategy sessions can naturally lead to sunset cocktails, and team-building might mean a private cooking class with a Fairmont chef. The simple truth? Even the Wi-Fi feels more inspired under that kind of sky.
Every Fairmont event shares the same impeccable DNA: flawless service, generous hospitality, and an unforgettable touch of drama. This is where you go when you want to impress: not just your guests, but your own sense of legacy.
Fairmont doesn’t just set the table for business. It builds the stage for history.
And then there’s Mama Shelter – the true wild card, the creative heart. Born from the legendary Trigano family (yes, the co-creators of Club Med), this brand flipped hospitality on its head – reimagining what it can feel like: vivid, human and full of personality.
In the world of meetings, Mama Shelter brings that same bold energy. It’s not about rigid agendas or formal routines – it’s about ideas that flow, laughter that’s shared, and collaboration that feels effortlessly alive.
At Mama, the philosophy is disarmingly simple: work hard, connect harder. The atmosphere is joyful, the food is generous, and the tech is quietly state-of-the-art. Even their sustainability is handled with a smile: local suppliers, zero-plastic goals, and creative minibar concepts that swap waste for playful ideas.
Mama Shelter is for those who lead with empathy, energy, and a necessary sense of humour. The ones who know the best meetings don’t end with applause, they end with genuine laughter.
Different energies. Different emotions. One unifying goal: to remind us that meetings, when orchestrated correctly, aren’t just about what gets decided – they’re about what gets remembered.
So, what story will your next event tell?
Will it be about design and drive, in the pulse of a Pullman?
About heritage and harmony, framed by Fairmont’s signature sophistication?
Or about connection and creativity, amidst the joyful chaos of a Mama Shelter rooftop?
Whatever your story, Accor’s MICE portfolio gives it the perfect stage. Because great meetings don’t just happen – they’re crafted, curated and brought to life, leaving memories that linger long after the lights go out.
