Accor Hotels | Calgary, AB

Accor is a world-leading hospitality group with a massive global footprint of over 5,700 properties across 110 countries. In Calgary, Accor’s identity is synonymous with its flagship luxury brand, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. The company is currently in a transformative phase within the city, leveraging the recent expansion of the BMO Centre to double its luxury presence and anchor Calgary’s new Culture + Entertainment District.

Company Culture

Accor’s corporate culture is built on the “Heartist®” ethos—a portmanteau of “Heart” and “Artist.” This philosophy suggests that hospitality is an art form fueled by genuine human connection rather than just a set of procedures.

• Be All You Are: The group champions a “come as you are” environment. With over 120 nationalities represented in its workforce, Accor focuses on diversity and inclusion through initiatives like RiiSE, its global network for gender equality.

• Social Elevator: Accor is known for its “social elevator” approach to careers, emphasizing that 59% of its teams do not have a university degree. They prioritize internal mobility, allowing employees to move between 45+ distinct brands worldwide.

• Pioneering Responsibility: The culture is deeply tied to sustainability. Through the Serve 360 program, the company has committed to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and has already eliminated guest-facing single-use plastics across its Calgary properties.

Location: Calgary, AB

Accor’s presence in Calgary is currently defined by one of Canada’s most historic hotels, with a major second landmark now in development.

• Fairmont Palliser (133 9th Ave SW): A “Regal Icon” that has stood since 1914. Located in the heart of downtown, it is connected to the TELUS Convention Centre via the Plus 15 system. It remains the city’s premier venue for high-profile galas, featuring the historic Hawthorn Dining Room & Bar.

• The “New” Fairmont Calgary (Opening 2031): Announced in early 2026, Accor has partnered with Truman to build a second Fairmont hotel in downtown Calgary. This 225-room luxury tower will be situated in the Culture + Entertainment District, specifically designed to capitalize on the $500 million BMO Centre expansion and the revitalized Stampede Park area.

• Regional Hub: Calgary serves as the central operational hub for Accor’s “Mountain Collection,” which includes the nearby Fairmont Banff Springs and Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, making the city vital for its synchronized Rocky Mountain tourism strategy.
