Accor, a world leading hospitality Group, and SHe Travel Club, the only independent hotel label designed by women for women, recently announced a partnership which aims to reimagine the female travel and hospitality experience. SHe Travel Club is the first and only hotel label, which leverages technology and women’s individual feedback to create a label specifically designed around meeting their expectations and requirements.

“She travel club is the fruits of my own experience in travelling all over the world. She, Safe & happy everywhere, is my promise to all women. Our label will help to make hospitality better for women and facilitate the travelling experience for all of us. We want to contribute to open the eyes of the hospitality sector and help hotels to be part of the social change and integrate women comfort safely in their customers’ experience.” Valérie Hoffenberg, Founder She Travel Club.

Women represent 64% of global travelers, but according to SHe’s global survey of 5,000 women in five regions, 85% consider their needs are not fully met by the industry. The survey identified four key pillars: Safety, Comfort, Service and Dining & Entertainment. As such, the labelling process assesses hotels against these four categories and provides three levels (Silver, Gold and Platinum) catering for all hotel segments.

Sofitel Legend Casco Viejo was certified with the “Gold” label, focusing on Security, Comfort and Services & Amenities.

“Customer experience is an extremely important factor and therefore receives great focus within our hotel operations. Making our hotels an inclusive environment is in Accor’s DNA. Therefore, the GOLD certification of the Sofitel Legend Casco Viejo hotel, awarded by SHe Travel Club, reinforces our commitment to offering support and good experiences to female travelers, providing a place where everyone can feel welcome, safe and happy. The fact that we are attentive to the demands of our clients and seek to serve each segment in a unique and personalized way, has made us improve even more the experience of women travelers, adapting our products and services to guarantee the greatest comfort and safety possible”. David Kianni, General Manager – Sofitel Legend Casco Viejo, Panama City.

We are proud to be part of an exclusive collection of hotels, which guarantees a level of comfort, security and services that meet the expectations of women. Today, our commitment to improving hospitality for women is stronger than ever.

Convinced of the importance of a distinction for and by women, we invite our clients — those who wish to help us improve the quality of the services dedicated to them in our hotels — to fill out the SHe Travel Club questionnaire available here.
