“Welcoming, protecting and taking care of others is at the heart of what Accor does best,” Accor Pacific’s Chief Operating Officer, Simon McGrath said.

“We are working closely with Government to accommodate those who are required to isolate for 14 days, before they go back into our communities”.
Hotels are playing an essential role in this effort and the Department of Health is giving us guidance on how best to take measures to protect the health and safety of our teams and guests.”
In Australia and New Zealand, Accor teams are delivering many acts of kindness.
Mercure Sunshine Coast Kawana Waters prepared dozens of meals for medical professionals at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital.
Novotel Brisbane Airport had a jungle gym play mat and baby toys delivered directly to the room of a family staying in-house for quarantine isolation to ensure they had everything they need to keep their young child occupied during their stay.
Grand Mercure Auckland learnt that it was one of their isolation guest birthdays, and they made him his favourite cocktail, an Expresso Martini, to celebrate.
Accor hotels across the world are also sending a message of love and compassion to their local communities by illuminating hotel rooms at the front of their building in the shape of a heart.
