Post by Accor

At NYU IHIF 2026, under this year's theme Sharpening the Edge, Accor took its place in the conversations defining the future of hospitality. Sébastien Bazin, Chairman and CEO, joined the Global Hospitality CEO panel, while our Group’s development and brand leaders sat across the sessions where capital, contracts, franchise, luxury and demand were being debated by the industry's top decision makers and investors. We came to those conversations with momentum behind us. Q1 2026 RevPAR was up 5.1% year on year and management and franchise revenue up 8.3%, the kind of fundamentals that shape where capital and demand head next. We left those panels with five insights worth keeping. The reads shaping how our industry thinks about its next move. Stay tuned for more insights from NYU coming in the next days.
