The hotel welcome mat belongs to guests near and far. Accor CEO Sebastien Bazin's future vision for the future of Accor banks on the idea more business will come from next door neighbors checking out a restaurant, café, or meeting space.
Accor Chairman and CEO Sébastien Bazin spoke with Skift Hospitality Reporter Cameron Sperance at Skift Global Forum 2021. The two discussed the theme “Future Growth in Luxury, Lifestyle, and Sustainability”

Sébastien Bazin: Cameron, good to see you. So I'm succeeding Glenn Fogel. Wow, that's going to be fun.
Sperance: Pressure's on. Pressure's on. So thank you for joining us. So we are going to be talking about topics that are pretty big on Accor's orbit, ultra luxury hotels, lifestyle, and maybe a sprinkle of sustainability at the end there. But do you mind if we start with the basics because anytime I write a story about you, everyone without fail will ask, "What is a lifestyle hotel?" So how do you define it?
