Heart of Hospitality Stories
Heart of Hospitality celebrates moments and lives at Accor and in the hospitality sector as a whole.
Heart of Hospitality tells stories of Heartists® from all backgrounds, from all walks of life, some of who have worked in the industry their entire life, others who fell into the sector and fell in love with it. Our Heartists® craft unforgettable moments for guests that stay with them a lifetime.
Whatever their background, their stories are connected by their talent, love and care for what they do.
