AccorHotels announces the signing of the Pullman Pinghu Excellence in Zhejiang Province in Eastern China. When it opens in 2021, it will be the first international upscale hotel in Pinghu, Jiaxing City.
Only 100 kilometres from downtown Shanghai, Pullman Pinghu Excellence is located overlooking the Minghu Lake at the heart of Pinghu city’s new CBD in the South City District. Set to be the highest building in Pinghu, Pullman Pinghu Excellence will serve as a catalyst in the Government’s planned development of its international business market. The Shanghai-Jiaxing-Hangzhou Express Railway makes this area an important commercial hub in Hangzhou Bay.
“As one of AccorHotels’ fastest growing brands in the Greater China region, Pullman introduces hotels and resorts in tune with today’s hyper-connected world, providing the new generation of travellers with an ideal balance of efficiency and personal well-being,” said Christophe Lauras, Vice President Operations, AccorHotels Greater China. “Pullman Pinghu Excellence will establish a new benchmark in Pinghu’s new South City District and it is ideally located for business travellers visiting Pinghu’s Eco-tech development zone.
“AccorHotels is excited to be partnering Excellence Group again on this new project, our fourth collaboration. Pullman Shanghai Qingpu will open by end of 2018, while Pullman Hangzhou Binjiang and Grand Mercure Qingdao Jiaonan are already under development,” Christophe Lauras added.
“Pinghu is a major strategic project for our development,” said Li Xiaoping, President of Excellence Group. “We are honoured to have this opportunity of launching a new landmark with AccorHotels for a Pullman brand hotel in the strategic location within Hangzhou Bay. We expect to benefit from the area’s major commercial and tourism development action plan. We appreciate the trust and support by the Pinghu Government.”
The hotel will provide over 420 rooms and suites, three restaurants, a lounge and a bar as well as Executive Lounge. Versatile MICE space includes a pillar-less ballroom, and fully-equipped function rooms. For recreation and wellness, facilities will include an indoor swimming pool, fitness centre and spa.
Pullman today features over 120 worldwide properties, including such signature hotels as Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel, Pullman Park Lane Hong Kong and Pullman Shanghai South. Pullman has only 11 years of history but has grown rapidly, particularly in Greater China where 32 Pullman hotels are already operating; 14 more are scheduled to open by 2020; and 15 new projects are in the pipeline.
