INDONESIA Accor has signed franchise and management agreements for 21 new hotels in Indonesia, bringing the number of pipeline hotels in the country to 34.
The newly announced projects will add 4,526 guestrooms to Accor’s Indonesia portfolio. The company currently operates 40 hotels in Indonesia.
“The Indonesian economy continues to grow, and benefiting from this growth is increased business travel and tourism volumes,” says Michael Issenberg, chief operating officer of Accor Asia Pacific. “Accor, with its extensive and diversified Indonesian network, is capitalizing on our strong brand recognition and significant resources that we have in the country in leveraging our expansion.”
The latest expansion announcement includes the debut of Accor’s upscale Pullman brand in Jakarta. Four of the hotels are Formule1-branded properties owned by PT Sunindo Indah Hotel. “Additionally, we are delighted with the pace with which the All Seasons brand has found traction in the country, with four of the new hotels sporting this non-standardized economy hotel mark,” says Gerard Guillouet, vice president for Accor in Indonesia.
