Leading travel and lifestyle group AccorHotels has announced six luxury and upscale hotel openings in the next three months.
The upcoming openings will include the expansion of the Sofitel and Pullman brands, which are affiliated to AccorHotels’ luxury and upscale collection together with Raffles Hotel, Fairmont, MGallery by Sofitel, Swissôtel and Grand Mercure.
“These developments build on 2016’s momentum, where AccorHotels added 86 hotels to our Asia Pacific network,” AccorHotels Asia Pacific chairman and chief executive officer Michael Issenberg says.
“Asia Pacific is really leading the world in terms of luxury and upscale demand and these six hotels are a strong signal of AccorHotels’ intention to keep building on our luxury credentials and expand in this sector.”
The six new openings are:
