We are pleased to see that our innovative wellness concepts, which all take a more holistic approach, are receiving global recognition from both guests and industry experts", says Emlyn Brown, Global Vice President, Well-Being, Accor.

Forbes Travel Guide
This year’s Forbes Travel Guide, a leading authority on luxury hospitality, honored eleven of Accor’s spas worldwide in the 2022 Star Awards. 5-Star rated venues include The Centre for Wellbeing at Fairmont Grand Del Mar, Banyan Tree Macau and Banyan Tree Mayakoba, which were recognized for their unparalleled luxury spa offerings. In addition, properties such as Raffles Spa at Raffles Istanbul, Willow Stream Spa at Fairmont Peace Hotel and Banyan Tree Spa Ungasan, garnered 4-Stars.
Spas of America
According to Spas of America, consumers sought fresh-air wellness experiences such as country, mountain, and desert spas over the last year. The publication's annual list of Top 100 North American Spas mirrored this sentiment, with only 10% of the list being city spas. Proving the Fairmont brand's excellence in this segment, two properties were among the 10% of urban spas that made the cut. Willow Stream Spa at the Fairmont Pacific Rim in Vancouver, British Columbia, seized the #34 spot, while the Health Club & Spa at Fairmont Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, came in at #79.
World Spa and Wellness Award
