On the one hand, hotels in extraordinary settings that promise their guests discoveries and emotions, and on the other, a unique golf course nestling between Alpine peaks and Lake Geneva, which every year welcome 50,000 enthusiastic spectators. MGallery and the Evian Masters have many points in common, which is why the Accor upscale hotel collection naturally decided to sign a three-year partnership with the competition - in 2013, the Evian Masters will become the fifth major in the Women's Grand Slam.

 

Through this partnership, MGallery confirms its special relationship with a sport synonymous with relaxation, nature and discovery.

MGallery: "Memorable hotels by Accor"*.

MGallery is the upscale hotel brand of Accor, the world's leading hotel group with over 4,400 hotels and 145,000 employees in 92 countries.

All the collection's hotels are remarkable and unique, with their own distinctive personalities. Each one tells a story, inviting the traveler to live an experience through its architecture, interior and services.  Every establishment draws its inspiration from one of the collection's three atmospheres. Some, like the Hotel de la Cité, are locations steeped in history that highlight their ancient origins -"Heritage". Others, like the Hotel Muse Bangkok, are esthetic universes, reflecting a style, a design, the "Signature" of a celebrity who contributed to creating or decorating the establishment.  Lastly, others, like the Capovaticano Resort Thalasso & Spa in Italy, are an invitation to relax in a fabulous natural setting -"Serenity"-, on the seaside, in the countryside, in the mountains or in an urban "oasis".  All of these establishments are different, but each one invites travelers to share and discover memorable experiences.

The MGallery collection was launched by Accor in September 2008 and is now present in all five continents. The network will expand to over 150 establishments by end 2015.
