HotelF1, stylised as hotelF1 and branded Formule 1 until 2007, is a French budget hotel chain solely operating domestically.

[3] The construction process of Formule 1 hotels was completely industrialized and standardized, allowing Accor to open one location every week.

[4] In the early 1990s, the engineering techniques of Formule 1 inspired the group Accor to launch another economy brand, Etap Hôtel (now ibis budget).

[5] In the late 1990s, the construction techniques of Formule 1 were also adopted by Accor's other economy brand, Ibis.

[6] By 1997, Formule 1 occupied 39% of the "super-economy" hotel market in France.
