Last October, The Shutterwhale met Tennis champion Serena Williams face to face at the Sofitel So Singapore. This year, as an official supplier to the tournament, Accor is offering all tennis fans exclusive access to the French Open from 24 May to 7 June 2015. Guests who will be staying in one of four Accor hotels in Paris will be able to purchase special two-day packages that include privileged access to the courtside action as well as accommodation and VIP dining.

This Parisian getaway offers guests access to the walkway and outside courts on the first day and then, on the second day, outside courts and category-1 privileged seats to the Rolland-Garros Philippe Chatrier Central Court, with exceptional, category-1 seats.

Between sets, Accor guests will be able to relax and enjoy delicious food in the Accor VIP area in the Roland Garros Village which is accessible by invitation only. For dinner, each hotel will prolong the experience with a gourmet menu proposing a myriad of surprising flavours.

FOUR ACCOR HOTELS IN PARIS

Alongside the two week French Open, the Accor Group will also be offering an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the magic of Roland-Garros and to visit Paris’ historical and cultural sites while staying in the heart of the city of lights.

Formerly an historic swimming pool, the Molitor (MGallery Collection hôtel) is located in the charming 16th arrondissement just a few minutes from the celebrated tennis courts by walk, this peaceful haven offers guests a chance to escape with the Spa by Clarins, and access to the two pools that made its renown of yesteryear.

For more indulgence, check out the exception Sofitel Paris Le Faubourg which is located in the luxury area of Faubourg Saint-Honoré. The hotel’s elegant year-long renovation project, conducted by the talented Didier Gomez – and its restaurant, Le Stay Faubourg, signed by Michelin Star chef Yannick Alléno – make Sofitel Paris Le Faubourg one of the city’s most beautiful gems.

With unobstructed views of Gustave Eiffel’s iconic masterpiece, Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel raises the standards for luxury hotel services and offers a subtle blend of architectural design and contemporary taste. Close to Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Pullman Paris Montparnasse houses a culinary workshop and a garden bathed in light, an oasis of calm that is completely detached from the frenzy of Paris.
