Accor Opens Pullman Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Accor has opened a Pullman Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The Pullman Kuala Lumpur City Centre Hotel & Residences, formerly the Prince Hotel & Residence Kuala Lumpur, is located in the heart of the trendy Bukit Bintang district and offers 445 hotel rooms and 157 serviced apartments.

The hotel is just a short stroll to the 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 temples, colourful street markets and historic neighbourhoods.

The Pullman Kuala Lumpur City Centre Hotel & Residences features six dining outlets, a 580 sqm metre grand ballroom and 11 meeting rooms, a fitness centre, kids club and outdoor swimming pool.

The hotel will undergo a full refurbishment over the next two years but 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’.”

The hotel is the fourth Pullman in Malaysia, joining a global network which aims to reach 100 hotels by the end of the year.
