Five more for Pullman
SYDNEY – Pullman is adding five hotels in China and India to its growing portfolio.
They are in addition to the five announced in mid-August.
These hotels take the development commitments for the Pullman brand in Asia to 22 hotels, in addition to the 12 operating Pullman hotels in the region.
Michael Issenberg, chairman and CEO, Accor Asia Pacific said, “Whilst we expected the Pullman brand to establish a foothold in the Asian region, we did not anticipate the speed with which this would happen.
“The tightening of credit markets and the slowing tourism arrivals has hotel owners and developers looking for contemporary hotel brands that appeal to the modern traveler, priced and distributed efficiently and offer a high quality product without the clutter of more traditional 5 star hotel brands.”
The three new Pullman’s for India are the Pullman Gurgaon Central Park, a new built 284-room hotel located in Gurgaon – the corporate satellite city of New Delhi. It is scheduled to open in late 2010 and is 30 minutes from Delhi International Airport.
Pullman Lavasa will open in mid-2011 with 258 guest rooms. The hill town of Lavasa is located one hour from the new Pune International Airport.
Pullman Delhi International Airport – located within the “Delhi Aerocity†precinct – will be a 270-room hotel with extensive meetings facilities when it opens 2012.
The additional Pullman Hotels for China are the 350-room Pullman Wuxi T-Park, located in the Wuxi New District in Jiangsu Province, 15 minutes from the airport and the Shanghai – Beijing high speed train station. The future metro link station is located below the hotel.
Pullman Tianjin Kunlun is a new 300-room (including 38 apartments) hotel located in the heart of Tianjin commercial area, 30 minutes drive from the airport
The five Pullman hotels announced last month were: Pullman Shanghai Pudong Zhangjiang and Pullman Shanghai South in China, Pullman Pattaya Aisawan and Pullman Phuket Arcadia Naithorn, both in Thailand and Pullman Hanoi Horison in Vietnam.
