Accor

Accor Pacific is expanding its diversity policy for employees with the introduction of what it calls an industry-leading gender transitioning policy.

With new hotels and brands coming, the country’s largest hotel operator is already looking to fill about 300 vacancies in NZ.

Accor’s Mövenpick Hotel is now open for business in Wellington’s The Terrace, where guests can experience a chocolate hour, a 24-hour sundae service and free ice cream for kids.

New Zealand’s biggest hotel operator has signed-up one of the country’s biggest female rugby stars to promote the brand.

Accor Hotels will pay at least the living wage of $22.75 per hour to all of its staff.

French giant AccorHotels’ proposed A$1.2bn (NZ$1.3bn) takeover of Australia’s Mantra Group looks set to go ahead creating a 50,000 room behemoth in the Asia Pacific room.

The Commerce Commission could investigate French giant AccorHotel’s proposed A$1.2bn (NZ$1.3bn) takeover of Australia’s Mantra Group if the deal substantially reduces competition in the New Zealand hotel operator market.

Europe’s largest hotel group, Accor, has made a US$930m (NZ$1.3bn) bid for Australia’s Mantra Group, which could see a number of New Zealand assets change hands.
