The new site has more than 50,000 accommodations available, putting the hotel giant into an increasingly competitive market for home rentals.

So far, Accor Apartments and Villas’ Caribbean offering is focused in Puerto Rico and Mexico, with a number of villas at the Fairmont Mayakoba on the Caribbean coast of Mexico and at the Fairmont San Juan in Puerto Rico’s capital.

“The launch of the Apartments & Villas website demonstrates our ambition to develop offers and solutions tailored to the extended stay hotel segment,” said Jeff Tisdall, Senior Vice President Development, Residential and Extended Stay at Accor. “The launch is an important milestone for our investment partners, guests and private residence owners, and further reinforces Accor’s leadership position in extended stay hotel and branded residence segments.”

Accor’s move follows fellow hotel giant Marriott’s high-profile launch of its own villa rental platform last year.
