Together we will be able to better serve you, our loyal guests, by providing even more exciting hotel choices and a greater selection of amazing destinations to explore.

This transaction, which is subject to regulatory approval, is expected to close in mid-2016. Until then, FRHI and AccorHotels will continue to operate as separate companies and as of today there are no changes to loyalty benefits or any upcoming reservations.

As always, our dedicated colleagues around the world remain focused on delivering unparalleled guest service and unique and meaningful travel experiences whenever you stay with us. http://bit.ly/1lPcdXc
Absolutely terrible news. I can't think of a worse fit for Fairmont. Our beloved FPC program will be shredded to the Accor points program, and my stays will go from 50/year to 0.
