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 city’s Bukit Bintang district and offers 445 hotel rooms and 157 serviced apartments.

The hotel offers easy access to the city’s key business districts, including the Petronas Twin Towers.

The newly opened property boasts a host of features, including six dining outlets, a 580sqm grand ballroom and 11 meeting rooms, a fitness centre, and an 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 disrupting guests.

“We are very excited to add this much-loved hotel to the fast-growing Pullman network,” said AccorHotels’ Asia Pacific chairman and CEO, Michael Issenberg. “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’.” www.pullmanhotels.com
