AccorHotels set to open six hotels in three months

Stuck for some sweet options for accomodation? It’s your lucky day then, as AccorHotels is opening up six new hotels – and all in the next three months.

Being the leading hotel operator in Asia Pacific wasn’t enough – this travel and lifestyle group needed more: in Malaysia, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore and China, to be specific.

Adding to their portfolio of 490 luxury and upscale hotels and resorts in 72 countries, AccorHotels is expanding their Sofitel and Pullman brands – and strengthening its Asia Pacific presence at the same time.

And Michael Issenberg, Chairman and CEO of AccorHotels Asia Pacific, said the company was in no way slowing down.

“These developments build on 2016’s momentum, where AccorHotels added 86 hotels to our Asia Pacific network, with 58 per cent of rooms in the luxury and upscale sector,” he said.

“We are committed to providing our customers with luxury accommodation in as many key locations as possible around the region.

“Asia Pacific is really leading the world in terms of luxury and upscale demand and these six hotels we are about to open are a strong signal of our intention to keep building on our luxury credentials and expand in this sector.”

Take a look at the six new hotels you’ll be dreaming about (until they open of course and you can make them a reality!)
