ACCOR OFFERS SPECIAL PACKAGES FOR FRENCH OPEN AS OFFICIAL SUPPLIER TO ROLAND-GARROS

From 24 May to 7 June 2015, Accor offers tennis fans exclusive access to the French Open thanks to its position as an official supplier to the tournament. Guests staying in one of four Accor Paris hotels will be able to purchase special two-day packages that include privileged access to the courtside action as well as accommodation and VIP dining.

This Parisian getaway offers guests access to the walkway and outside courts on the first day and then, on the second day, outside courts and category-1 privileged seats to the Rolland-Garros Philippe Chatrier Central Court, with exceptional, category-1 seats.

Between sets, guests will enjoy the Accor VIP area in the Roland Garros Village. This refined space, accessible by invitation only, allows a moment of relaxation and gourmandise around a delicious tea-time .

For dinner, each hotel will prolong the experience with a gourmet menu proposing a myriad of surprising savours.

FOUR HOTELS, FOuR UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCES

During the two weeks of the tournament, the Accor Group is proposing an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the magic of Roland-Garros and to visit Paris’ historical and cultural sites while staying in the heart of the city of lights.

Molitor, MGallery Collection hôtel, formerly an historic swimming pool, has lost none of its charm. Located in the 16th arrondissement just a few minutes from the celebrated tennis courts by walk, this peaceful haven offers guests a chance to escape with the Spa by Clarins, and access to the two pools that made its renown of yesteryear.

Located in the luxury atmosphere of Faubourg Saint-Honoré,, Sofitel Paris Le Faubourg is an exceptional place. The hotel’s elegant year-long renovation project, conducted by the talented Didier Gomez – and its restaurant, Le Stay Faubourg, signed by Michelin Star chef Yannick Alléno – make Sofitel Paris Le Faubourg one of the city’s most beautiful gems.

With unobstructed views of Gustave Eiffel’s iconic masterpiece, Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel raises the standards for luxury hotel services and offers a subtle blend of architectural design and contemporary taste.

Close to Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Pullman Paris Montparnasse houses a culinary workshop and a garden bathed in light, an oasis of calm that is completely detached from the frenzy of Paris.
