Accor extends Pullman brand in Asia
SINGAPORE – Accor has taken over the management of the 250-room Hanoi Horison Hotel in Vietnam
The hotel will undergo extensive refurbishment, following which it will be re-launched as Pullman Hanoi in 2011.
The Horison hotel joins Accor’s two existing hotels in Hanoi – the Sofitel Metropole and Sofitel Plaza on West Lake. Next month, the Mercure Hanoi La Gare will open.
The announcement that the Horison would become a Pullman hotel after its major renovation is part of an announcement of five Pullman hotels to Accor’s rapidly growing network in Asia.
The new hotel developments are located in China, Thailand and Vietnam adding to the current operating network of 10 Pullman hotels and resorts in Asia and extending the development commitments to 17 hotels.
The other four Pullman hotels announced are the Pullman Shanghai Pudong Zhangjiang; Pullman Shanghai South;
Pullman Pattaya Aisawan (currently Aisawan Hotel Pattaya) and the Pullman Phuket Arcadia Naithorn Beach, a new beachfront hotel situated at one of Phuket’s newest and most promising bays.
These new developments are in addition to commitments for 12 Pullman hotels to open in China, Indonesia, India and Vietnam.
