The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) will review French hotelier Accor’s proposed takeover of the Mantra Group that would combine the country’s two top hotel operators.

“If the ACCC decides to conduct a public review, details will be made available on our mergers register,” the regulator said.
