Hotels for your own: How hotels create unique offers for bloggers, athletes, and moviegoers

A new era of hospitality — when a hotel becomes part of your passion

The hospitality industry is going through a turning point: hotels are no longer just a place to sleep and have breakfast. A modern guest comes to the hotel not only for convenience, but also for impressions — he wants to feel the atmosphere, be inspired, become a part of history.

That is why top hotels rely on personalized emotions. Hotels work out the atmosphere and design, think over the music and even the fragrance that greets guests in the lobby. Everything works to create an emotional connection — the feeling that you are in a space where you are understood.

The request for personalization is not just a whim of the market, but a reflection of deeper social changes. In the era of digitalization and standardization, we all yearn for authenticity and unique experiences. Therefore, the hotel has ceased to be an impersonal "overnight point", becoming a curator of impressions. Value is now measured not by the square meters of the room or the list of amenities, but by the intensity and quality of the emotions that the guest takes with them.

Let's not forget that in recent years the number of remote workers has grown significantly — the boundaries between travel, work and hobbies have been erased. A guest can simultaneously be a business guest with morning video conferences, a blogger at lunch, and an athlete in the evening. A hotel that wants to retain such a client must flexibly adapt to all its roles and offer a holistic ecosystem of services and amenities.

You can try new cooperation options: for example, through hotel barter, bloggers get the opportunity to live and create content, and hotels get advertising and recognition. In each case, the hotel adapts to the person, turning a standard stay into a story in which you want to stay longer.

Accor adapts the accommodation formats to the lifestyle of the guests. We understand that some of them come to hotels for the sake of filming for a social network, others — to keep fit or be inspired by art, others — for everything together. The hotels of our network offer solutions for any category of residents. We talk about popular options.

For bloggers: panoramas and perfect light in the frame

Visual culture today dictates new rules of travel. Increasingly, the choice of a hotel depends not so much on the convenience of the location as on the aesthetics of the space.

For content creators, details are important: how the morning light falls, how harmonious the lines of the interior are, whether there is an angle that "holds" the frame. Locations where the visual atmosphere is carefully designed become both a place of residence and a part of the creative process.

The Accor hotel chain has caught this trend and come up with formats that inspire at first sight. For example, rooms with panoramic windows in Swissotel Krasnye Hills Moscow offer a view of the capital that makes every sunrise an ideal backdrop for filming. The interiors created by the premium design bureau combine conciseness and a special character, allowing bloggers to form their own visual story right in the frame.

But aesthetics is just the beginning. Understanding the needs of the creators, Swissotel Krasnye Hills Moscow also offers practical solutions: stable high-speed Wi-Fi for downloading content, flexible check-in and check-out schedule, allowing you to shoot with the necessary natural lighting. Your day here may include creating morning shots on the panoramic balcony, upgrading rooms for new ideas, and using common areas. In between filming, you can have lunch and dinner at the hotel's restaurants.

Swissotel Krasnye Hills Moscow can be called a hotel for bloggers. Here, comfort goes hand in hand with aesthetics, and every detail helps create content that works for the author's individual style. Such spaces are becoming part of how travel bloggers earn money: high-quality shots and the atmosphere of the hotel increase audience engagement and create a unique visual. For many creators, living in Swissotel Krasnye Hills Moscow is not just a vacation, but an investment in a professional image.

Athletes and adherents of healthy lifestyle: infrastructure that keeps them in shape

A traveler who leads an active lifestyle does not want to choose between comfort and the usual rhythm of training. Even on vacation or a business trip, an athlete is looking for an opportunity to keep fit and maintain balance. Therefore, many hotels are moving away from the "just access to the gym" format and creating full-fledged wellness spaces where sports and recovery become a natural part of living.

The Accor network is actively developing this area. Guests have access not only to modern halls with professional equipment, but also to relaxation areas: swimming pools, saunas, hammams and spa complexes. This approach creates a new culture of relaxation, where caring for the body and mental state is built into the very philosophy of the hotel.

For those whose lives are inextricably linked to sports, Rixos Krasnaya Polyana can be an excellent solution. Here, physical activity and comfort are combined into a single system. You can start the morning with a workout in the fitness room, relax and unwind in the thermal area, and relax in the evening at the spa with panoramic mountain views. You will feel not just concern for comfort, but support for your lifestyle — the very connection that makes traveling conscious and inspiring.

In addition to infrastructure, service plays a key role. For example:

• Active Life Center "What to do". Consultants help hotel guests plan an eventful vacation, from organizing mountain hikes to booking seats at local gastronomic events. This allows the athlete to find like-minded people and activities according to their interests, and plan the day as efficiently as possible.
• Polyana 960 Medical Center. You can undergo an organism diagnosis and receive a personal wellness program that will turn a standard vacation into a conscious investment in your own health and longevity.

The hotel assumes the role of curator of the wellness experience, where physical activity, competent recovery and preventive care merge into a single ecosystem of caring for you.

For moviegoers and art lovers: the atmosphere is like in a movie

There are travelers for whom inspiration is primarily important on a trip. They are looking for a place to live where they can feel the aesthetics, the atmosphere, the history. For such guests, the hotel is a backdrop for filming, a source of ideas and inner peace at the same time.

The Accor network creates just such spaces. In the lobby you can see collections of modern art, in the rooms there are elements of thematic design, and outside the windows there are streets of historical centers, where architecture itself breathes culture. Everything is important here: how the light falls on the marble wall, how the music sounds in the lounge, how the smell of freshly brewed coffee combines with the morning view from the window.

This philosophy is especially subtly conveyed by SO/St. Petersburg — from the very threshold it positions itself as an art object. The interior design, created by Italian architect Antonio Citterio, is inspired by Faberge's jewelry masterpieces. Every detail, from the shape of the door handle to the lines of the furniture, is thought out as an element of the exhibition, turning the stay of a moviegoer and an art connoisseur into living inside a work created specifically for him.

This "animated painting" effect is maintained at all levels. In the rooms, from the cozy SO Cozy to the SO VVIP apartments with a fireplace, aesthetics are inseparable from comfort. Bathrooms with Italian cosmetics, huge windows that are so pleasant to read and create scripts, a Jacuzzi with a direct view of St. Isaac's Cathedral — here every angle creates a frame worthy of a movie.

The hotel is not just located in the center of the cultural map of the city — it becomes its continuation. Breakfast, lunch and dinner on the HI-SO panoramic terrace with spectacular views of historic St. Petersburg, cocktails in the trendy MIXO-LOBBY BAR line up in the perfect narrative of a day filled with beauty. Even an evening relaxation in the pool or a massage session is perceived here not as a service, but as part of a conscious ritual of restoring creative forces.
