Hotels are coming up everywhere in India, but they cannot keep up with the demand. The sector is now looking at homestays to bridge the gap and to boost experiential tourism in the country.

For Accor, which has long described India as a “critical” market, the joint venture with InterGlobe signals a reset after years of fragmented structures. All eyes are now on the long-awaited CEO announcement to see who will steer the next phase.

If Ennismore has a successful IPO, it could reshape how investors value hotel brands. Analysts may give value not just to room revenue and expanding footprints, but also to ancillary sales, guest engagement, and brand equity.

Accor has had at least 3 big re-orgs in a decade. Now it's fine-tuning strategy. Selling stakes in Ennismore and Orient Express could free up resources to more effectively battle the Marriotts of the world.

India's hospitality growth story is now officially beyond the one-hotel-at-a-time stage.

The dollar's decline is splitting the hotel industry along regional lines. European and Asian chains are feeling the pinch while U.S.-based operators barely mention the turbulence.

Investors hated Accor's results - the stock got crushed. But the U.S. expansion plan is starting to pick up.

It's far from a done deal, but a sale could make sense. Accor could potentially retain some of the benefits of Orient-Express without having to manage an ultra-luxury brand. LVMH would reduce brand confusion.

On today’s podcast we look at Hilton’s earnings, Accor’s way into Las Vegas, and why lifestyle hotels are booming in Asia.

Accor gets just 5% of its revenue from the U.S. and it wants more. We may see more European and Asian hospitality brands doing deals to gain a presence in Vegas.
