I'm having a bit of a hard time keeping track of all of Accor's activities... 25hours, Rixos, Onefinestay, FRHI, Banyan Tree, Mantra, Belmond (Orient Express), now Movenpick... Can they really integrate them all?

They did not buy Belmond, Belmond lost the license to the name Orient Express which is now licensed to Accor.
Can they integrate them all? Eventually yes I think but with Accor everything takes longer...
