TRIBE Hotels launched TRIBE Vinyl Club on Disquaire Day / Record Store Day on 18 April, bringing vinyl culture into its hotels worldwide through curated listening stations, neighbourhood partnerships, and an exclusive vinyl release. Built on the idea that music connects people, this club for vinyl fans brings a more tactile, intentional way to listen, discover and share.
The initiative is anchored by a partnership with Disquaire Day / Record Store Day, linking Tribe’s international hotel network with local record stores. Together, they create listening spaces across hotels and neighbourhoods – extending the Tribe social vibe beyond the hotel walls.

Tribe will also release its own vinyl, titled ‘New Grounds’, curated with Radio Nova. The limited LP is a sonic journey inspired by movement and connection, spanning genres and generations, bringing together established and emerging artists such as Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, Brian Eno & John Cale, Danny Brown, Martina Topley-Bird and Khruangbin. The LP will feature four unreleased tracks created specially for Tribe, adding a rare and collectible dimension to the record. Only 1,000 copies will be available across a selection of the brand’s hotels and partner record stores.
At the core of Tribe Vinyl Club are listening stations installed in select Tribe hotels. These relaxed, social spaces invite guests to browse curated vinyl collections, select records that catch their eye or ear, plug in and listen. Each station features tailor-made furniture and premium Audio-Technica equipment, including the AT-LP60XUSBGM turntable and ATH-M20x headphones, alongside a selection of iconic records and rare gems curated in collaboration with local record stores.

Each participating hotel address will be paired with a curated selection of nearby independent record stores, highlighted through digital city maps.

“Tribe is a social hotel that brings people together, creating spaces for life, social dining, and shared culture – the great substance of urban lifestyles. Today this comes to life through the launch of the Tribe Vinyl Club”, said Jean-Yves Minet, Global Brand President, Midscale & Economy at Accor. “Music brings people together and over the past decade, we have witnessed a powerful resurgence of vinyl culture, reflecting a broader shift toward authenticity, craftsmanship, and more immersive experiences. These are the same values transforming modern travel. Vinyl is not simply nostalgia – it represents ritual, intention, and connection. With Tribe Vinyl Club, we are creating moments and spaces where people engage through culture, creativity, and discovery, and where music becomes a living part of hotel life.”

David Godevais, Director of Disquaire Day / Record Store Day France, explains: “This partnership brings together two worlds that share the same values of curiosity and passion for music. By opening its hotels to vinyl culture, Tribe enables independent record shops to reach new audiences and creates new opportunities for musical discovery. It is a powerful example of how the worlds of hospitality and culture can come together and reinforce one another.”
“Disquaire Day / Record Store Day has always been about celebrating the culture and community that exists around independent record stores,” added Phoebe Scott, Record Store Day UK Coordinator. “Partnering with Tribe opens that culture up in a new way, bringing it into social, design-led spaces where people naturally gather. It is exciting to see vinyl continue to evolve beyond the record store, while still staying true to its roots in discovery, independence and human connection.”
By embedding music, design, and local culture into the everyday guest journey, this hotel brand positions its hotels as creative platforms where travellers, residents, and artists meet.
