Continues record year of expansion for Asia
Pacific’s most dynamic upscale brand
AccorHotels
will launch the Pullman Kuala Lumpur City Centre Hotel & Residences on 1
August, further consolidating the Pullman brand as the fastest-growing upscale
brand in Asia Pacific. Perfectly located in the heart of the trendy Bukit
Bintang district, the hotel offers 445 spacious hotel rooms and 157 serviced
apartments, boasting spectacular views of the city skyline.
Formerly
the Prince Hotel & Residence Kuala Lumpur, the well-maintained hotel will
undergo a full refurbishment over the next two years to reach global Pullman
standards of excellence, and will remain open throughout, with renovations
designed to avoid guest disruption.
“We
are very excited to add this much-loved hotel to the fast-growing Pullman
network,” said Michael Issenberg, Chairman and CEO AccorHotels Asia Pacific.
“Since launching in 2008, the Pullman brand has really struck a chord with
owners as a hotel that appeals to today’s connected and sophisticated
traveller.
“The
number of high-profile hotels that have rebranded to Pullman in recent months
including The Park Lane Hong Kong, the former Hilton on the Park in Melbourne
and now the Prince in Kuala Lumpur is testament to the brand’s ability to meet
the needs of today’s global nomads.”
Pullman
is a brand of stylish, upscale hotels with a contemporary vibe, innovative
technology, high quality meeting spaces and best-in-class business and fitness
facilities. The Pullman Kuala Lumpur City Centre Hotel & Residences is a
perfect fit for the brand, thanks to its superb location and excellent
facilities, modern rooms, panoramic views, fitness centre, kids club and
outdoor pool. With Pullman having a strong focus on balanced food and beverage
offerings, the hotel will feature six dining outlets from a casual coffee
lounge and poolside terrace grill to Japanese and Chinese fine dining and will
boast world-class meeting facilities including a 580 sqm metre grand ballroom
and 11 meeting rooms.

It
will be the fourth Pullman in Malaysia and the 56th in Asia Pacific, joining a
global network aims to reach 100 hotels by the end of the year. In Asia Pacific
alone, Pullman has a strong pipeline of over 40 hotels in the next few years
and will continue to expand aggressively. Pullman is now the largest five-star
hotel brand in Australia and the fastest-growing AccorHotels brand in China,
reflecting its popularity in the region.
The
latest Pullman boasts a prime location within the „golden triangle‟ of Kuala
Lumpur, surrounded by the city’s best shopping, dining and entertainment. It is
just a short stroll to the shopping mecca of Pavilion Mall and the local
flavours of Jalan Alor street market. It also offers easy access to Bukit Nanas
Forest Reserve, the Petronas Twin Towers, Menara Kuala Lumpur and a host of
beautiful temples, colourful street markets and historic neighbourhoods,
providing the perfect base for either business or leisure travellers.
Proving
how dynamic the brand’s growth is, another milestone hotel will join the
network two days later when the Pullman Bangkok Grande Sukhumvit (formerly the
Grand Millennium Sukhumvit Bangkok) relaunches, adding a further 325rooms to
the network.
