Accor, the largest hotel operator in the Asia Pacific and in Indonesia, today announced the official take-over of Hotel Nikko Jakarta, with the hotel now sporting the Pullman name. Pullman is Accor’s upscale hotel brand designed with the requirements of modern business travellers in mind. 

The hotel is currently undergoing a major refurbishment to guest rooms, the lobby, restaurants, and ballroom, with the addition of new event facilities to host up to 1000 guests for meetings, conventions and other major events. The refurbishment is being done in stages to avoid guest impact and will be completed mid-2013.

Gerard Guillouet, Vice President for Accor, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia said, “The rebranding of this strategically located hotel in Jakarta demonstrates our commitment to developing a network of upscale hotels in Indonesia. The business travel market in Indonesia has matured significantly, providing a catalyst for the expansion of this well-positioned upscale business-oriented hotel brand.

“The Pullman Jakarta Indonesia is the third Pullman hotel to be launched in Indonesia, following the opening of the first Pullman hotel in Bali in February last year and Pullman Jakarta Central Park in November. Therefore we are very excited with Pullman Jakarta Indonesia as it offers not only a wider choice for Accor guests, it also strengthens our presence in the upscale market,” Guillouet added.
The true differentiation between Pullman and other five-star hotels operating in Indonesia lies in three core concepts: Conviviality, Calm and Connectivity - providing excellent service, a calm environment and the most sophisticated communications systems to keep travellers connected anywhere, any time.

Michael Issenberg, Chairman and Chief Operating Officer of Accor Asia Pacific, said, “The rebranding of the Pullman Jakarta Indonesia is very important for us as the brand is at the core of our upscale portfolio and is today the fastest growing five-star hotel brand in Asia Pacific. In just three years, Pullman has expanded to over 70 hotels throughout the world with 23 of them operating here in Asia Pacific.  Beyond this existing network we have commitments for a further 34 Pullman hotels in the region. We are well on track to achieve our previously stated ambitions of having 100 Pullman hotels in Asia Pacific by 2015.”
