The hotel group will expand its current ibis hotel and open two new properties in the zone: ibis Budget and Novotel.

Accor is increasing its capacity near Paris airports. The hotel group, through its real estate investment division HotelInvest, signed construction leases at Paris Orly with Aéroports de Paris, site owner and developer. In the Coeur d'Orly district, the include the extension of the current ibis (53 additional rooms), by 2016, and the implantation of two new properties, an ibis Budget (154 rooms) and a Novotel (153 rooms), whose openings are respectively planned for 2016 and 2017.

"This operation allows us to invest in the economy and midscale segments in hotels meeting high environmental quality standards (HQE). They are located in a key area that is generating excellent operating performances and promising to become one of Grand Paris's flagship urban projects," declared  John Ozinga, COO HotelInvest Accor.

The three new properties will make it possible to increase accommodations capacity at Paris-Orly airport by 43%, adding 360 new rooms to the current supply of 840 rooms. Their development is part of the real estate program Coeur d'Orly, an eco-friendly business district between the airport terminals.

In the first stage, on a 13.5 hectare parcel, 160,000 square meters of buildings are to be constructed including 70,000 square meters of offices, 41,000 meters of shops and services, as well as a 35,000 square meter hotel division.

"Paris-Orly airport has become a very important business hub in the heart of southern Paris. the significant modernization work currently underway will change the appearance of the airport, making it more welcoming, especially through the construction of a junction building between the south and west terminal. At the same time, construction work has started on the first office building in Coeur d'Orly. Besides teh fact that we are giving added value to our vast land reserves, we are also significantly increasing Paris-Orly's accommodation capacity, thereby meeting the growing demand from passengers," declared François Cangardel, real estate director Aéroport de Paris.
