AccorHotels and LP Holding have signed a joint agreement to develop three new hotels in Myanmar, offering business travellers a wide variety of luxury accommodation options along with a range of meetings facilities.
The partnership will see the opening of Mercure Mandalay Hill Resort in the second quarter of this year, and the development of Pullman Yangon Centrepoint and Mandalay Hill Resort MGallery by Sofitel, which are slated to open in 2017 and 2020 respectively.
The Mercure Mandalay Hill Resort features 206 rooms with spectacular views of Mandalay Hill, the Royal Palace, the Irrawaddy River, and the city of Mandalay, once the Royal Capital of Myanmar. The resort’s three dining outlets include Yadanabon, Mings Chinese, and Kinsana Garden, while the two bars are Kipling’s Lounge Bar and Garden Tivaratee. MICE facilities include a conference centre, a ballroom, and three meeting rooms.
Situated opposite Yangon’s iconic High Court building and the Independence Monument Park, the newly built Pullman Yangon Centrepoint will be part of Centrepoint Towers, one of the tallest commercial buildings in the city. The hotel features 300 guestrooms, an all-day-dining outlet, two specialty restaurants, a destination sky bar, and a lobby lounge. Meetings and events spaces include a ballroom and ten meeting rooms. Other facilities include a pool, a fitness centre and a spa.
The newly built Mandalay Hill Resort MGallery by Sofitel, debuting in 2020, will offer a high-end experience in a truly unique atmosphere. Situated near Mandalay’s most iconic cultural monuments, the luxury boutique hotel will feature 150 guestrooms and villas, a restaurant, and a bar. There will be an outdoor pool and spa, shared with neighbouring Mercure Mandalay Hill Resort.
“The three hotels are situated in strategic locations in Yangon and Mandalay, for tourists and business guests alike,” says Patrick Basset, chief operating officer of AccorHotels, Upper Southeast and Northeast Asia. “Pullman, our upscale hotel brand, is designed to cater to the requirements of cosmopolitan, seasoned travellers, as well as meetings and incentive events. MGallery by Sofitel is a collection of high-end boutique hotels, each with its own unique personality and story, while Mercure hotels, our midscale brand, are rooted in their local communities and meet shared quality standards.”
