If $A$ is a subset of the set of reflections of a finite Coxeter group $W$, we define a sub-$\mathbb{Z}$-module ${{\mathcal{D}}_{A}}\left( W \right)$ of the group algebra $\mathbb{Z}W$. We discuss cases where this submodule is a subalgebra. This family of subalgebras includes strictly the Solomon descent algebra, the group algebra and, if $W$ is of type $B$, the Mantaci–Reutenauer algebra.
