People are the heart of hospitality
Hospitality is a people business and it matters because it has heart. Here we celebrate the moments and lives of people who make this industry so special – our Heartists®, the world of hospitality and beyond, curated by Accor.
Those who work in the industry do so for many reasons, most commonly because they simply like people. They care about the craft, the experience and the service because it matters. It matters to our guests and therefore it matters to us.
Hospitality is the epitome of diversity, bringing together people from all backgrounds, from all walks of life, from all over the world. It is an industry full of passionate, creative and talented people some of whom have worked in the industry their entire life, others who fell into the sector and fell in love with it. Whatever their background, their stories are connected by their talent, love and care for what they do.
Here we celebrate their work, their stories, their heart.
