INTRODUCTION
a) History & Growth of the HoteI:-
Company History:
Paris-based Accor S.A. is Europe's leading hospitality group with almost 4,000 hotels in
85 countries around the world. Accor provides hotels in every range, from the five-star
Sofitel chain to budget-priced Formule 1, Etap, and bis in Europe, Motel 6 and Red
Roof nns in the United States, and midrange Novotel and Mercure in Europe and the
Asia/Pacific Rim region. n addition to its hotel properties, Accor is active in travel and
leisure through its half-interest in Carlson Wagonlit Travel, offering package tours and
resorts in 33 countries. Accor also provides its worldwide customer base with
foodservices (restaurants and employee vouchers), casinos, and onboard railway
services (sleeping berths and dining).
Acquisitions in the EarIy 1990s
Accor made a major move into the U.S. market when it purchased the Dallas, Texas-
based budget hotel chain Motel 6 in 1990 for more than $1.3 billion. The deal made
Accor the second largest hotel company in the world in terms of rooms (157,000) and
represented an attempt by Pelisson and Dubrule to build an American hotel empire to
match their successful European operations. Accor paid a hefty price to enter the
crowded U.S. market and took on an additional $1 billion debt from the sale. The
partners, however, were committed to expanding in the United States with the same
cost-cutting measures that had worked so well for Formule 1, including credit card
payment and limited maintenance staff.
Accor used a radio ad campaign and transatlantic marketing to lure Europeans to Motel
6. Although Accor agreed not to overhaul the management of Motel 6's parent
company, Motel 6 G.P. nc., it did sell a 60 percent stake in the budget chain to French
investors. n 1991 Accor bought 53 Regal nns and Affordable nns from RHC Holding
Corporation to make Motel 6 the preeminent budget hotel company in the world. Motel
6's success in the early 1990s was due in part to Accor's financial backing and ability to
pay cash, as well as its decision to purchase company-owned properties outright rather
than franchising them.
n 1990 Accor and Socit Gnrale de Belgique bought a 26.7 percent stake in
Wagons-Lits, a Belgian company that dominated the European railroad sleeping car
business and was the second largest hotel chain in continental Europe, owning about
300 hotels in Europe, Thailand, and ndonesia. n 1992 the European Community
approved Accor's nearly $1 billion bid for a 69.5 percent controlling interest in Wagons-
Lits. At the end of the year, Accor became the world leader in its industry with 2,100
hotels, 6,000 restaurants, and 1,000 travel agencies.
With the privatization of industry in Hungary, Accor entered a partnership in 1993 to buy
51 percent of the hotel company Pannonia from the Hungarian government. Pannonia
owned medium-priced hotels in Hungary, Germany, and Austria and gained exclusive
rights to develop under Accor in Bulgaria, Albania, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, and
the former Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, as well as to develop the Mercure chain in
Austria. Accor also launched the Coralia label in 1993 to distinguish holiday hotels from
business hotels. Around 30 Accor hotels in the Mediterranean and ndian Ocean
regions added the Coralia label by 1994 and more were planned in the Caribbean,
Central America, and Venezuela.
n the early 1990s Accor's Atria subsidiary was developing economic centers in cities
and towns composed of conference centers, offices, and hotels, particularly Novotels
and Mercures, in conjunction with local chambers of commerce. The company also had
investments in Thalassa nternational spas and luxury hotels and casinos in France.
Accor began a hotel-rebranding strategy in June 1993 to eliminate the Pullman Hotels
nternational chain, acquired in 1991, while expanding its Sofitel and Mercure brands.
Through renovations, the company transformed 27 Pullman hotels into Sofitels, while
another 25 Pullman hotels became Mercure hotels.
Accor similarly expanded its restaurant business in the early 1990s with L'Arche
cafeterias, L'cluse winebars, Boeuf Jardinier steakhouses, Caf Route highway cafs,
Actair airport restaurants, Terminal train station buffets, and Meda's Grills in Spain. The
company increased its partnership in France Quick and began building independent
villas for Pizza del Arte. n 1994 Lentre, the bakery and catering chain Accor had
developed in six countries, merged with Rosell, a chain specializing in organization,
expansion, and management of catering services, for mutual advantages.
With the Dutch Wagons-Lits, Accor continued its expansion in restaurants and sleeping
compartments on trains. n the car rental business, the company shared control of
Europcar nterrent nternational with Volkswagen AG in 89 countries in Europe, Africa,
and the Middle East. n March 1994 Accor agreed to merge its travel agency business
with Carlson Travel Network, a subsidiary of Carlson Companies, to form a network of
4,000 agencies in 125 countries worth $10.8 billion. The new enterprise, named Carlson
Wagonlit Travel, would be jointly owned (half-interest each) by Carlson and Accor. The
integration of the two businesses occurred gradually over the next several years.

OOD AND BEVERAGES
The Square
The revamped look of the all day dining restaurant is a modern, global dining
experience. The restaurant has two distinct zones, an indoor al fresco area, and a
casual dining area. The use of glass, stainless steel and dark wood finishes create a
sophisticated, yet casual ambiance. The urban resort feel is achieved with the use of
natural quartz stones on the walls for texture, wood planks for flooring, and a
combination of earthy and cool tones for fabrics. The square provides its guests multiple
cusines like talian,continental,ndian and Chinese. Also there are regular food festivals
like Thai and Mumbai food festival which sets the mood up for the guests..
