Accor signs agreement for new Cuba beach resort
French hotel group Accor has announced a deal for a new hotel resort in Cuba slated to open in November this year.
Details were unveiled during French President Francois Hollande’s historic visit to Cuba this week for the 518-room Pullman Cayo Coco hotel.
Located on Las Coloradas beach, about 10 minutes from the airport, the hotel will include 40 suites, and will become the first resort in Cuba to offer Wi-Fi access in every room, Accor said.
"Accor has been present in Cuba for nearly twenty years and we have been effective in forging trusting and lasting relations with our local partner Gran Caribe. The Pullman Cayo Coco will enrich Cuba’s offer of hotels in the upscale segment which has real development potential," said Jean-Philippe Claret, Accor’s SVP operations for Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean.
Accor currently operates two hotels in Cuba, the 178-room Mercure Sevilla Havane and the Mercure Playa de Oro, in Varadero.
It also has a second hotel in Havana under construction which will join its Sofitel brand.
