Accor and AXA have launched a partnership that allows in-house guests to get complimentary telephone consultation, including prescriptions, for non-urgent medical support.
The telephone consultation is free of charge, and the guest can be referred for a more comprehensive face-to-face appointment at an appropriate doctor that must be paid for.
