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 hotel brand. Pullman is Accor's upscale hotel brand designed with the requirements of modern business travellers in mind. 

 

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 recently 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. Conviviality is true hospitality, Calm is to relax in the comfortable atmosphere of the hotel and in the knowledge that the services of the hotel are designed to provide for efficiency of business travellers and Connectivity meaning hotels within the Pullman network always provide the latest, sophisticated communication systems to keep business travellers connected anywhere, anytime.

 

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."

 

Pullman Jakarta Indonesia is owned by PT Wisma Nusantara International, which is a subsidiary of Guthrie GTS Ltd., Singapore. Mitsui & Co. Ltd., Japan, is also a shareholder in PT Wisma Nusantara International.
