Ten years of Wifirst & Accor partnership

More than 1,000 hotels and 120,000 rooms connected

Accor is France's leading hotel group, with over 5,500 hotels in around 100 countries. The brand portfolio is very broad, from Midscale & Economy (Ibis, Mercure, Novotel, Adagio, etc.) to Luxury & Premium (Sofitel, Pullman, Raffles, MGallery, etc.).

Our shared history began in 2013 when Wifirst was selected by Accor to replace Orange on the Mercure, Novotel, Pullman and MGallery brands. 250 hotels were equipped in just three months! Three years later, Wifirst is listed as the sole WiFi, Fibre and Chromecast partner for all the group's brands. Since then, we've continued to work closely with our customers, offering a tailor-made technological approach that has won over Accor teams and franchisees as they digitise their establishments.

// OPTIMISING TELECOMS BUDGETS WITH THE UNIFIED NETWORK

Wifirst has listed a number of products with the Group

Most hotels use separate networks to connect their various services (telephony, PMS, cameras and WiFi Guest), which results in a very large volume of equipment and maintenance difficulties.

We offer all hoteliers the chance to optimise their telecoms budget, their carbon footprint (with energy savings of up to 70%) and their operational performance thanks to our unified network: a secure multiservice infrastructure that connects all digital services and devices, for both guests and staff.
