The 1st hotel in Northern Europe offering a 100% digital experience will open its doors. A big step forward for Accor, whose ambition is to offer a contactless guest journey throughout its network, with the use of the best of technology.
Accor recently announced the deployment of “Accor Key ", a solution providing customers access to their rooms without a physical key, in all of its properties. The objective: simplify our guests' stays using digital technology, while maintaining the human touch which is the greatest strength of our hotels. With the health crisis, this transformation also makes it possible to respond to the new challenges of social distancing. To this end, many hotels are gradually equipping themselves with the latest technologies around the world... This digitalization of the customer journey will become the standard for Accor hotels in the months and years to come.
" We know that guests increasingly seek contact-light travel and hotel experience that is easy to use, and we want to ensure they can do just that.”, said Carla Milovanov, SVP Customer Technology Services, Accor. "Technology is part of our daily lives and is now fully part of our hotel experience – and with this important step, we give our guests the opportunity to adapt their hotel stay according to their preferences. "
