London, 14 October 2026 — AltoVita, the global corporate accommodation and technology platform, has entered into a strategic partnership with Accor to expand its corporate accommodation offering across the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, two of the fastest-growing regions for business travel and international projects in 2026.The partnership adds more than 180 Accor properties to AltoVita’s global platform, providing businesses with greater choice and flexibility in two of the world’s fastest-growing regions for business travel, corporate mobility and international project activity.
Bringing together AltoVita’s technology-driven corporate accommodation platform with Accor’s hospitality expertise, diverse brand portfolio and extensive regional footprint, the Accor properties include brands such as Mövenpick, Sofitel, Fairmont, Adagio, Pullman, Novotel and Banyan Tree, which will be available through AltoVita, providing corporate clients with accommodation solutions suited to both extended assignments and shorter business stays.
A Region Redefining Corporate Travel
The partnership comes at a time of significant transformation across the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. Increasing levels of investment, infrastructure development, international projects and cross-border business activity are reshaping corporate mobility and creating new travel patterns across both regions.
In the Middle East, long-term projects and business travel continue to accelerate, driven by Vision 2030 developments in Saudi Arabia, sustained economic expansion in the UAE, and growing corporate activity across markets including Qatar and Bahrain.
Across Asia-Pacific, forecast to account for more than 40% of global business travel spending in 2026, demand for corporate mobility solutions continues to grow across Singapore, Taipei and major Southeast Asian business hubs, supported by expansion in manufacturing, technology and international trade.
As a result, demand is increasing for accommodation that bridges the gap between traditional hotel stays and long-term serviced apartments. Corporate travellers on assignments ranging from several weeks to several months increasingly require greater flexibility, space and residential-style amenities than conventional hotel stays typically provide.
The AltoVita and Accor partnership directly responds to this growing demand, offering businesses access to a broader range of accommodation solutions designed around the realities of modern corporate travel.
A Complete Corporate Accommodation Portfolio
The 180 strong portfolio includes serviced apartments and aparthotels, traditionally preferred for longer stays, alongside full-service hotels offering extended-stay-friendly packages that may include daily housekeeping, laundry services, flexible dining options and other long-stay benefits.
This provides companies with genuine choice across a broad spectrum of accommodation types as corporate traveller needs evolve, supporting employees at every level, from graduates and project teams to executives and VIP travellers, all within a centrally managed booking workflow.
For Accor, extended stay is about more than increasing the duration of a traditional hotel booking. It reflects the growing need to adapt hospitality experiences to the way corporate travellers live and work when assignments take them away from home for weeks or months at a time.
Combining Hospitality Expertise with Corporate Accommodation Technology
At the heart of the partnership are the complementary strengths of the two organisations. AltoVita provides a technology-led corporate accommodation platform that connects accommodation inventory with corporate travel, procurement and global mobility teams. Accor contributes its hospitality expertise, broad brand portfolio, extensive regional presence and diverse range of accommodation formats.
Together, the two companies aim to simplify the process of sourcing and managing accommodation for every type of assignment, from short business trips and project-based deployments to long-term relocations.
Designed Around the Realities of Longer Stays
The needs of a traveller spending several weeks or months in a destination differ significantly from those of a guest staying for just a night or two. While location and connectivity remain important, longer stays often require additional considerations such as workspace, laundry facilities, dining options, fitness and wellness amenities, and access to everyday services that help travellers maintain their routines away from home.
Accor’s multi-brand portfolio enables it to meet these varying needs through a combination of dedicated living concepts, serviced apartments and full-service hotels. AltoVita complements this offering through a centralised platform that enables corporate travel and mobility teams to identify, compare and manage suitable accommodation options.
This creates greater flexibility for companies managing employees with different needs and profiles, from graduates and project teams to executives and VIP travellers. Through AltoVita, corporate travel and mobility teams can access these accommodation options alongside detailed property information, enabling them to identify the most appropriate solution for each traveller and assignment.
Accor’s extended-stay strategy aligns closely with AltoVita’s positioning. With extended-stay, branded residential and hybrid hospitality concepts central to its growth agenda, Accor’s premium and midscale brands, including Mövenpick and Pullman, have established strong credentials in branded residences globally, while brands such as Novotel increasingly incorporate extended-stay-friendly offerings. This destination-led approach aligns with the evolving expectations of corporate travellers undertaking longer assignments.
“What makes this partnership especially exciting is that it introduces a new solution for the corporate market, addressing a genuine gap between traditional hotels and extended-stay accommodation. Through our collaboration with Accor, we have worked to create tailored offerings that support the specific needs of corporate travellers staying for longer periods. These can include everything from laundry services and meal plans to full-board options and other customised amenities that make extended stays more comfortable and practical.”— Fatine El Khayyari, Hospitality Growth Manager MENA, AltoVita
“Extended stay is becoming an increasingly important segment of the hospitality landscape as corporate mobility, project-based travel and evolving lifestyles reshape the way people live and work away from home. Accor is uniquely positioned to meet this demand through a broad portfolio that spans traditional hotels, serviced apartments and dedicated living concepts across multiple brands and price points. Our partnership with AltoVita brings together Accor’s hospitality expertise and AltoVita’s purpose-built corporate accommodation platform, creating greater flexibility, convenience and choice for businesses and their travellers across the Middle East and Asia-Pacific.” — Anthony MeGuerdijian, SVP Sales, Middle East, Africa, Turkiye, Asia PacificAccor
Safety and Security Built into Every Booking
For corporate clients deploying employees to emerging markets across the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, duty of care remains a critical consideration. Every Accor property available through AltoVita is subject to AltoVita’s rigorous vetting and compliance processes.
Accor’s own security infrastructure provides an additional layer of assurance. The Group’s security team conducts detailed assessments covering physical security measures, location-specific risks, proximity to critical infrastructure and alignment with internationally recognised safety standards.
Properties as Destinations: The Experience Advantage
Accor's development philosophy of building properties that function as destinations in themselves, layering in F&B, wellness, and cultural programming alongside accommodation, directly enhances the extended-stay proposition for corporate travellers. For an employee on a 60-day assignment in Dubai or a project team based in Singapore for three months, access to a property with genuine on-site experience matters. AltoVita’s platform now surfaces this inventory with the property-level amenities details corporate bookers need.
Through AltoVita’s platform, corporate travel and mobility teams can access this inventory alongside detailed property information, enabling them to identify the most suitable accommodation option for each traveller and assignment.
Accor’s portfolio of more than 180 properties across the Middle East and Asia-Pacific is now available to corporate clients through AltoVita’s global accommodation platform.
