Accor in Talks for Takeover of Events Organizer Potel & Chabot
25.08.2023 - 13:11 / skift.com / Sean Oneill
Accor, the Paris-based hotel giant, said Friday it had begun “exclusive” talks with Andera Partners and partner investors to take a 63% stake in Potel & Chabot Group, an events specialist. Until now, Accor had a minority shareholding.
Accor didn’t disclose the price or deal terms. But it said it planned to close the transaction within a few months. Pre-pandemic, Potel & Chabot said it generated more than $110 million a year in revenue. On Friday, it said the unit is expected to generate sales of $145 million (around €130 million) in 2023.
Potel & Chabot is a leading caterer and event organizer for more than 10,000 corporate and private receptions a year worldwide. The vendor typically services major sporting events like the Roland-Garros tennis tournament. It also manages reception venues in multiple countries.
Clarifying its holdings and moving away from joint ventures may have the side benefit of giving Accor a Plan B option of selling its luxury and lifestyle division, or all of itself, years from now — meaning that it will make it clearer to prospective buyers the value of what it actually controls.
In 2017, Accor partnered with Edmond de Rothschild Investment Partners to take a stake in Potel & Chabot. Since then it has used the partnership to develop food and beverage offerings for meetings, incentives, conferences, and events (MICE) guests and to provide access to special events for members of the hotel group’s loyalty program.
Industry observers will watch if the hotel giant further simplifies its minority holdings by buying out stakes in its other joint ventures. Last November, Accor increased its shareholding in Paris Society, another joint venture, for about $72 million (€67 million) — taking control with 95% of the voting rights.

I've taken the Amtrak Auto Train, where you take your car with you, over a dozen times. It's great for overpackers who want to reduce driving time.
Although I don't particularly mind driving and enjoy a good road trip, I prefer to avoid congested highways (such as I-95) and love any opportunity to travel by train. So it's not surprising that I'm a big fan of the Auto Train, an Amtrak route unlike any other.
