AccorHotels hits 30,000 rooms in the UK

AccorHotels has hit 30,000 rooms in the UK and claims it is on course to increase its number of rooms by over 30% by 2017.

In October it signed an agreement with Amaris Hospitality to manage 1,617 rooms across 11 hotels, which are currently being rebranded.

Novotel and Mercure dominate its UK portfolio, with close to 14,000 rooms.

AccorHotels managing director Thomas Dubaere said: "2015 has been a year of momentum for AccorHotels; we have signed a significant number of rooms standing now at 30,000 in the UK and are well on track to increase the number of rooms by over 30% by 2017, building our presence in this important region for the group.

"Our leading brands, strong regional network, flexible approach to properties and locally inspired designs as well as our leadership position across all segments of the market demonstrate the attractiveness of our brands, ensuring we are the best option for all our partners as we continue to push towards our target of 40,000 rooms in the UK and Ireland."
