The Handwritten Collection, Accor's bespoke hotel collection focusing on unique, characterful properties, has opened its 50th collection property.
The Handwritten Collection now offers stays in 20 different countries and has a development portfolio that will more than double its current offerings.
What is The Handwritten Collection?
The Handwritten Collection is Accor's group of unique, characterful and independently owned hotels. Accor says it's "designed for travelers who seek stories, not just stays."
"Handwritten Collection celebrates individuality in hospitality and the power of human connection," said Jean-Yves Minet, Global Brand President, Midscale & Economy, Accor. "Reaching 50 hotels reflects a growing desire for stays that feel personal, sincere, and shaped by real stories — as well as the opportunity for independent hotels to find a home within a global collection brand, connecting with an international audience of story-seeking travelers."
