Accor's health and wellness platform is founded on six core pillars – nutrition, holistic design, movement, spa, mindfulness and digital presence to ensure a standout wellness experience that will be remembered long after check-out. The large number of prestigious wellness awards Accor and its brands have garnered in the first half of 2022 is a testament to its approach.
"Physical, emotional and mental well-being are now widely recognised as contributing to a higher quality of life, and for hotels, this must permeate the entire guest experience. We are pleased to see that our innovative wellness concepts, which all take a more holistic approach, are receiving global recognition from both guests and industry experts," said Emlyn Brown, Global Vice President, Well-Being, Accor.
Constantly striving for excellence, today Accor and its world-class portfolio of brands and properties are acknowledged by leading wellness and spa publications and associations. Here are some of the awards the group has scooped up so far this year.

Accor has an expansive portfolio of hotels, spas, venues, and destinations and is strongly committed to overall guest and employee well-being.

Spas of America
According to Spas of America, consumers sought fresh-air wellness experiences such as country, mountain, and desert spas over the past year. The publication's annual list of Top 100 North American Spas echoed this sentiment, with only 10 percent of the list being city spas. Proving the Fairmont brand's excellence in this segment, two properties were among the 10 percent of urban spas that made the cut. Willow Stream Spa at the Fairmont Pacific Rim in Vancouver, British Columbia, seized the spot for 34th place, while the Health Club & Spa at Fairmont Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, came in at 79th.
