Then list those that make up the Accor group. Finally, list the latest concepts launched by Hyatt, Hilton and IHG. Clearly, this is not an easy task, given that a<strong> ground swell<\/strong> The hotel industry is currently in turmoil, with a frenetic pace of brand launches and mergers &amp; acquisitions. No doubt the sector's professionals are also getting a little lost, since<a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/marriott-eleve-offre-racheter-starwood-20160322.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> the acquisition of Starwood by Marriott in 2016<\/a> paved the way for these gigantic groups around which <strong>a myriad of brands<\/strong>. By swallowing up its American competitor, Marriott has welcomed 11 brands into its fold, including several stars, notably Sheraton on the business side, W, a pioneer in design hotels, and the ultra-luxury St Regis. Added to these are its own blockbusters, notably its eponymous Marriott brand, to form a solid group of 30 of the most renowned brands in the hotel world.<\/p>\n<p>All of which should give the competition some ideas. The latest example of consolidation in the sector is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/minor-hotels-nh-empreinte-mondiale-20181128.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">takeover of NH Hotels by Thai group Minor International<\/a>. Thanks to the takeover of the Spanish hotel operator and its 380 establishments, the owner of the Anantara luxury brand is now a strong player in Europe and Latin America.<\/p>\n<p>When S\u00e9bastien Bazin took over the reins of Accor in 2013, the French group still only had a dozen or so brands, with Ibis, Mercure, Novotel, Pullman and Sofitel as the benchmarks for mobile executives. Today, there are more than 35. Or <strong>a threefold increase in the range of brands<\/strong> in just six years. To expand its portfolio, Accor has followed two parallel paths: on the one hand, new concepts and, on the other, a large number of acquisitions and partnerships, in particular to strengthen its position in a key segment at the moment, lifestyle hotels. For example, the French group has acquired stakes in Mama Shelter and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/accorhotels-25hours-veut-conquerir-monde-20161110.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">25Hours<\/a> in Europe and has half the market share in the United States. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/accorhotels-partenariat-lifestyle-sbe-20180629.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SBE Entertainment<\/a>owner of the sophisticated SLS, Mondrian and Delano brands.<\/p>\n<p>Above all, Accor achieved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/accorhotels-sempare-de-fairmont-raffles-2-20151210.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">flagship acquisition in 2016,<\/a> that of FRHI, which has propelled Europe's leading hotel group <strong>into a whole new dimension<\/strong>. Indeed, this acquisition opened the doors to the luxury segment by encompassing the Raffles and Fairmont brands, while strengthening its presence in the ever-strategic American market. On a different note, but in the same way, extending both its geographical coverage and its footprint in the business segment was one of the reasons for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/accorhotels-acquisition-moevenpick-20180430.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the takeover of M\u00f6venpick<\/a>a brand with a strong presence in the Middle East and South-East Asia. \"<em>We already had Pullman, but it's a young brand with just 140 hotels.

Production Ltd RALF TOOTEN<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Upmarket<\/h2>\n<p>The case of Best Western is just as emblematic of this effervescence around brands. Today, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/best-western-offre-croissance-20190315.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the group exceeds 15 banners<\/a>eight of which have been launched in the last three years. However, until 2010 and for more than sixty years, this group had relied on <strong>its only sign<\/strong>with its essentially mid-range positioning. Then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/best-western-croissance-marques-20180315.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he began to clarify his offer<\/a>In addition to upgrading certain establishments to Best Western Plus or Best Western Premier status, the Group is also launching brands that are likely to appeal to owners of five-star, lifestyle, budget or extended-stay hotels. Or even a mix of the two, such as the SureStay Studio brand, announced last October for budget and extended-stay establishments.<\/p>\n<p>To give<strong> more weight to its brand portfolio<\/strong>The Radisson Group also made major changes in 2018. <em>\"Before, in Europe, we relied on our key brand, Radisson Blu, and on the Park Inn midscale brand.<\/em>says Val\u00e9rie Schuermans, Vice President Business Development of the Radisson Group. <em>Today, our structure is organised around seven brands covering the entire spectrum, from Prizeotel in the budget segment to Radisson Red in the lifestyle segment and Radisson Collection in the luxury segment.<\/em>\"<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/le-groupe-radisson-hotel-affirme-ses-ambitions-20181102.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Backed by the recognised name of Radisso<\/a>n, the largest upmarket brand in Europe by number of hotels, has enabled the group to assert its ambitions in the luxury segment, with the Radisson Collection present in London, Copenhagen, Moscow and Rome, and soon in Paris, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/la-defense-lifestyle-mama-okko-20190710.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in the La D\u00e9fense district<\/a>. Until then, the Group had been dabbling in the very top end of the market, not having <strong>never really made an impact<\/strong>Not even with its Missoni-branded hotels, a trend that was all the rage in the mid-2000s but has since lost ground. \"<em>The crisis has come and gone<\/em>says Val\u00e9rie Schuermans. <em>At the same time, translating the experience of a fashion brand into the hotel industry, which is a very operational sector and requires a pragmatic approach, and getting two groups with different DNAs to work together was very difficult.<\/em>\"<\/p>\n<p>By multiplying their brands over and over again, hotel groups have <strong>a single will\u00a0<\/strong>To have hotels to suit all budgets and all occasions. \"<em>Our ambition is to extend our portfolio from economy to ultra-luxury, and in each of these segments, to have an offer that is both classic and lifestyle.<\/em>\"says Chris Cahill, CEO of Accor's hotel operations. In the same vein, Jenni Benzaquen, vice-president of Marriott's European luxury brands, believes that \"<em>the challenge is to offer a diversity of experiences. A regular at a Ritz-Carlton may well stay in an Edition for a few days on business. If they want to spend a romantic weekend, they can opt for a Luxury Collection or a W if they want a trendier atmosphere.<\/em>\"<\/p>\n<p>If hoteliers don't have the experience travellers want in-store, they're going to give it away. <strong>look elsewhere<\/strong>IHG's strategy is to build on this success, ticking off all the missing boxes as it goes along. IHG has identified a gap in the luxury segment to complement its InterContinental brand: the British group is buying up the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/boutique-kimpton-mondiale-20181005.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">boutique hotels Kimpton<\/a>the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/ihg-regent-voco-avid-20181020.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ultra classics Regent<\/a> and resorts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/six-senses-resorts-rachat-ihg-20190213.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Six Senses<\/a>. For its part, Hyatt, which has noticed similar weaknesses, is once again bidding for the Thompson and Joie de Vivre urban boutique hotels in the United States and the Alila resorts in Asia.<\/p>\n<p>One by one, hotel groups are building up their offer to appeal to all audiences. Following this strategy, Hyatt has tackled <strong>a quivering segment<\/strong>This small group has only two resorts on the Atlantic. This small group may only have two resorts across the Atlantic. But they are immensely vast, immersed in nature, and are VIP retreats where stressed executives and corporate groups can bring their bodies and minds into harmony. \"<em>What's important about this acquisition is that it extends the Hyatt brand into worlds beyond the traditional hotel business.<\/em>said Mark Hoplamazian, CEO of the American group. <em>Wellness tourism is expected to be worth 420 billion dollars. So we're responding to the growing demand for wellness offers from our ultra-premium travellers.<\/em>\"<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_91833\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-91833\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/mama-shelter.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"td-modal-image wp-image-91833 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/mama-shelter.jpg\" alt=\"Along with 25Hours and 21C Museum, Mama Shelter is one of the many brands in which Accor has invested to expand its portfolio of lifestyle hotels.

In response to growing interest among business travellers for flats designed for stays of four to six nights, IHG launched Atwell Suites last May.

Announced last February, this <strong>new brand<\/strong> followed barely three months after the unveiling of another brand: Motto. With this one, Hilton is tackling a completely different niche and riding the wave of new-generation urban youth hostels. The product, clearly aimed at young travellers, families and groups of friends, is intended as a riposte to Airbnb, with urban hotels at very affordable prices, high-tech rooms that connect to each other, and a payment system that can be shared between several residents.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_91839\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-91839\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/hotel-indigo-.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"td-modal-image wp-image-91839 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/hotel-indigo-.jpg\" alt=\"Walls with a story to tell.

Whether they are low-cost or much more upmarket, the new brands aim to satisfy the diverse expectations of millennials. And to do this, they need to offer real experiences with a host of things that private flats cannot boast of offering, and which stand in stark contrast to the standardised hotels of yesteryear. These include meeting opportunities in places that are attractive to local customers, cutting-edge design and works of art hanging everywhere on the walls, and, increasingly, coworking spaces. It's an evolution that can be summed up in a single, overused word: lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>Affordable prices, small but well-equipped rooms, no superfluous luxuries, but above all lively lobbies and rooftops: this is the place to be. <strong>winning combination<\/strong>initiated at the beginning of the decade by small players such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/nuits-americaines-citizen-m-20190919.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Citizen M<\/a>Nowadays, hotel groups are duplicating the concept ad infinitum. To establish themselves in the up-and-coming districts of metropolises, each group has its own relaxed upmarket brand.

The Vitality room reinforces this positioning with a high-performance air purification system, lighting that adapts to circadian cycles and exercise equipment.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse;width: 100%\" border=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%\">\n<h3>Collection fashion show<\/h3>\n<p>This was the big trend until recently: almost every group had its own 'collection'. Launched in 2017, Best Western Signature and Tapestry by Hilton followed the appearance in 2016 of Tru by Hilton and Hyatt's Unbound Collection, which were themselves followed by others, such as Tribute Portfolio, the Best Western Premier Collection, Curio by Hilton and, before that, Accor's MGallery and Marriott's Autograph Collection. All these <strong>light\" brands<\/strong> have aimed to de-standardise their group's offer by welcoming into their fold independent establishments with character, more in tune with the new expectations of travellers. In return, these hoteliers can benefit from the marketing strength of these major global groups, and in particular their loyalty programmes. This strategy is continuing, with some major successes such as Autograph Collection, which reached 175 hotels in the second quarter, MGallery, which offers more than 100 hotels, and Curio and Tru at Hilton, each of which has more than 70 establishments.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse;width: 100%\" border=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%\">\n<h3>Loyalty in good order<\/h3>\n<p>To orchestrate their ever-growing brand portfolios, several hotel groups are relying on new-style loyalty programmes to steer travellers in the right direction, <strong>no doubt a little lost<\/strong> among all the offers on the market. Whether it's All at Accor or Marriott Bonvoy, these loyalty tools add an emotional dimension by offering rewards that are no longer based solely on freebies, but on customers' passions. For example, points can be exchanged for concert tickets, tickets to sporting events or VIP sightseeing tours. These are just some of the favours offered to frequent travellers, based on experience and lifestyle.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The pace is almost dizzying.
