Accor has reported revenue of €589 million for the third quarter of financial 2021. The figure is up 79 per cent on last year, illustrating the recovery from the depths of the Covid-19 slump.

Accor has taken a stake in developer Ennismore, home of the Hoxton brand. Under terms of an all-share merger, the French giant becomes the majority owner of the new entity.

The property will offer 156 comfortable rooms with sea view, two restaurants and spa centre in addition to an innovative work-space and conference facility.

With Expo 2020 just around the corner, he also explains how the event will galvanise a hospitality recovery in Dubai.

Accor has appointed Sara Glenn and Benjamin Cadwell as chief operating officers in North and Central America. The news comes as the company seeks to rebuild following Covid-19.

Located near main business hubs, shopping centres and tourist destinations, the hotel is the main flagship property for Novotel in the North and Central American region.
