Mobile Hotels for Mobile Guests
At Accorhotels, we have the ambition to change the historical paradigm of the hospitality industry: it is no longer the customer who comes to the hotel but the hotel that comes to the customer, wherever he is and whenever he wants, it could be Pop-Up, mobile, new way of hosting, We call it mobile hospitality.
We started with a concept called Flying Nest, which recreates a hotel in a few hours on any event. This concept was created using containers.

This mobile Hospitality mainly meets needs of Events market, which is broke down into two major typologies:
