New Year, New You: Tips from Accor's ALL

Accor's ALL Resolution Guide

According to a study, 80% of people who make New Year’s resolutions have already abandoned them by January 12. Other research shows that these resolutions often centre on a desire for well-being, such as eating healthier and exercising more frequently. If achieving your New Year goals feels overwhelming, ALL.com, Accor's reservation platform and loyalty program, is here to help. ALL guides guests towards holistic well-being in its 5,700 hotels across 110 countries by offering amenities like gyms, spas, sleep and nutrition programs, and activities such as yoga, surfing, and boxing. Each visit—an hour, a day, a weekend, or longer—becomes a moment of relaxation and an opportunity for self-care, thanks to integrated services like massage and hairstyling salons.

These services are enhanced by brand-specific offers such as Fairmont Fit (fitness equipment loan), Feel Good by MGallery (yoga and meditation to reduce stress, anxiety, and insomnia), Sofitel MyBed (top-of-the-range bedding for restful sleep), Retreats by Raffles (sensory regeneration programs), and The Purist, a wellness concept that combines self-discovery and neuroscience.

The studies referenced include "New Year, New Me: The Science Behind New Year's Resolutions," conducted by Professor and Chair of Psychology John C. Norcross at the University of Scranton from 1978 to 2020, and a 2019 Accor study titled "It's a Wellness World: The Global Shift Shaking up Our Business," which surveyed 7,500 consumers in six countries. According to the latter study, 79% of respondents indicated that well-being is important to them, and 42% consider it a top priority.

Following  Accor's Top 2025 Wellness Trends, here are the world's best places to keep your resolutions, even after 12 January:
