Accor hits 600 with upscale Hong Kong hotel
By admin


Accor has announced its milestone 600th hotel in the region with the signing of The Park Lane Hong Kong to its Pullman brand. The announcement comes as The Park Lane celebrates it 40th anniversary and signifies a new era for the hotel.

Accor Asia Pacific, chairman and CEO Michael Issenberg said, “The addition of The Park Lane Hong Kong to the Pullman brand is a huge milestone for Accor because it brings us a strategic hotel in the centre of one of the world’s most important business and tourism hubs at a time when Pullman is really affirming itself as one of the most exciting hotel brands in the region."

"The fact that it becomes our 600th hotel in the region is further cause for celebration because it is testament to Accor’s strong growth in the region and our investment in Pullman as a brand of the future."

Despite, The Park Lane being a very well maintained hotel in the centre of Causeway Bay, it is undergoing a full renovation program. The changes will feature a make-over of the Park Lane Suites, executive floors, dining outlets, meeting rooms and executive lounge. 

Park Lane Hotels International, regional director Luc Bollen said, “We are very excited to join the Accor family and the Pullman brand and believe this will open The Park Lane hotel to greater distribution channels and more guests from across the globe,”

 “Pullman is the perfect brand for The Park Lane because it appeals to today’s cosmopolitan and connected traveller looking for upscale services and excellent business and meeting facilities.” 

It has taken Accor  14 years to reach more than 100 hotels in Asia Pacific but from 1997 – 2007 the network tripled in size to over 300.

 Development has now reached record levels, with an average of one Accor hotel opening per week in Asia Pacific. This growth will continue to climb exponentially alongside the growing middle class in the region which is fuelling demand for quality, globally-branded hotel accommodation.
