AccorHotels - Best Global Hotel Chain 2016
Bazin, who has served on the AccorHotels board since 2005 and was named Chairman & CEO in August 2013, has been credited with dramatically transforming the Group, initiating a major digital revolution, implementing bold acquisitions including the FRHI network, expanding into new businesses including private home rentals, introducing a new name and vision and opening up AccorHotels’ distribution channels to independent operators, as well as this week announcing a new brand, Jo&Joe that will completely disrupt the usual hospitality codes, blending the best of private-rental, hostel and hotel formats, designed to meet the expectations of millennials and those who value sharing and spontaneity. Bazin has not only improved the Group’s financial performance since taking the reins, but has created a new culture that encourages innovation, agility and accountability.
