Accor reaffirmed its position as the largest international hotel operator in Asia-Pacific with the opening of the Pullman Gurgaon Central Park, the Group’s 500th hotel in the region. The announcement also marks the debut of the upscale Pullman brand in India.

Accor Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Denis Hennequin, was quoted as having said that he is very pleased with this dual milestone for Accor in Asia Pacific, which reaffirms their position as the leading operator of hotels in this key growth market and anchors their growth ambitions for the region.

Hennequin added that it is very appropriate that they are celebrating their 500th hotel in Asia Pacific in India, which is a market that provides a significant growth opportunity for Accor building on the foundations that have been established in the country to date.

With the addition of the Pullman brand to its India network, Accor now has the most extensive brand portfolio of hotels operating in the country, providing the Group with a strategic advantage in this dynamic market. Pullman Gurgaon Central Park represents Accor’s 17th hotel in India, complementing its existing five brands (Sofitel, Novotel, Mercure, ibis and Formule 1) in the country, which range from luxury to budget.

Ideally located in Gurgaon, the corporate satellite city of New Delhi, Pullman Gurgaon Central Park presents a fresh approach to upscale accommodation in India. Featuring 285 rooms, Pullman Gurgaon Central Park offers amenities and innovative services to meet the highest standards of professional practice aligned to the brand’s three pillars: calm, convivial and connectivity.

Consistent with other Pullman properties worldwide, Pullman Gurgaon Central Park is ideal for MICE initiatives, with over 17,000 square feet of state-of-the-art meeting spaces and connectivity solutions throughout the hotel.
