Luxury Hotels Atlas / The Maison / Emblems Collection
Emblems Collection hotels
Independent houses join for heritage, retreat setting or bold design, with their identities intact.
Emblems Collection gives independent luxury hotels a place within Accor while preserving the name and character of each address. Announced in 2021, the collection made its operating debut with Lucknam Park near Bath in late 2025, a Georgian estate with extensive grounds, a restaurant, and an equestrian center.
6 Emblems Collection hotels in 6 countries on the Luxury Hotels Atlas (4 not open yet), each placed on the six LHA Tiers.
- Owned by Accor
- Worldwide: 2 operating hotels as of 2026 — Lucknam Park and Rimrock Banff — with 4 additional signed properties filed as future in the atlas; more than 15 further hotels were in advanced negotiation, against a target of 60 worldwide by 2032. Accor launch announcement
- On the atlas: 1 High Luxury, 5 Accessible Luxury
History
Accor designed Emblems around independent hotels and buildings whose character would remain central after joining the collection. The announced Guiyang project and the later operating debut at Lucknam Park showed different versions of that idea. Existing houses and conversions form much of the planned growth, allowing architecture and history to lead the experience.
Timeline
- 2021 — Accor announces Emblems Collection in November, naming the Guiyang Art Centre Hotel in China's Guizhou province, developed with local partner HLC Group, as the intended flagship.
- 2022–2024 — The Guiyang flagship's planned opening slips; Accor spends this period quietly signing further properties rather than rushing the brand's public launch.
- 2025 — Lucknam Park Hotel & Spa near Bath, England, a 500-acre estate with a Michelin-starred restaurant, becomes Emblems Collection's true operational debut in the fourth quarter, alongside a pipeline that already includes Elatos Resort near Athens and Hotel Bellevue Cortina d'Ampezzo in Italy.
The houses to know
