AccorHotels has launched AccorHotels Business Solution for SMEs and SMIs, allowing them to manage online their travel policy and bookings in 2,800 hotels around the world.

“With AccorHotels Business Solution, AccorHotels is the first hotel group to provide a simple answer to a key expectation in the SME or SMI corporate market, namely the centralization of bookings and invoicing, so they can better monitor hotel spending and simplify their expense account management.” says senior vice president global sales for the group Cyril Kovarsky.

To access this service, SME and SMI managers merely have to create an online account in the Pro Solutions section on the hotel website. They can then manage their hotel policy in an easy and centralized way; let their employees book online at the best rates in a large selection of hotels all over the world, from ibis to Sofitel; set the spending cap and benefit from one monthly invoice and the centralized payment of all bookings; and monitor hotel spending using detailed reports and analyses.

As for employees, they can enjoy a simple and intuitive booking interface that clearly displays their company’s travel policy; access the many AccorHotels advantages, including flexible and promotional rates, discounts on the best rates available, and the Le Club AccorHotels loyalty program; as well as avoid advancing their own funds to cover their travel expenses.

This new solution will initially be available for French companies, before being rolled out in 2016 in the Group’s key markets in Europe. www.accorhotels.com
