Pullman, one of Accor’s premium brands, has opened Pullman Baotou, its first property in North China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
Baotou is an important industrial and manufacturing base in China as well as a hub and logistics business centre for the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. With abundant resources, distinctive cultural relics, science and technological development, it has been showing steady progress with a reputation as China’s steel capital on grassland.
The new Pullman Baotou is situated within a mixed-use complex that includes a shopping mall and commercial tower in the city’s new central business district. It is adjacent to Baotou Municipal Government, International Convention and Exhibition Center, and Olympic Sports Centre Stadium. The hotel’s superb geographical location features a bird’s eye view of Saihantala Ecological Park, Asia’s largest urban wetland grassland. It is a 20-minute drive to the airport and the city’s train station, as well as Baotou’s historic downtown.
Pullman Baotou features interior design by award-winning firm HBA (Hirsch Bedner Associates). Each of its 263 guestrooms and suites enjoys either stunning grassland or garden views. Designed to be uplifting, stimulating and comfortable, guestrooms allow business travellers to connect with this unique setting, with Inner Mongolian pottery and traditional patterns used throughout.
Pullman Baotou’s culinary offerings introduce new standards to the city. In the lobby, the signature Junction at Pullman opens the floor into a living room to welcome friends, colleagues and travellers while acting as an informal business meeting space. Les Champs-Elysées Lobby Bar’s cosmopolitan styling and welcoming vibe are ideal for meetings, catch-ups and chill out experiences. Its light meal bar menu complements a delicious assortment of pastries and take away choices.
Bordeaux House restaurant is a fashionable establishment with the concept of sharing dishes. Featuring authentic ingredients from local markets and from internationally selected produce, with a fusion of skilful American cooking finesse. Bordeaux House’s imported wines pair expertly with its signature steak cuts. Silk Pavilion boasts Huaiyang and fusion cuisine, interpreting Inner Mongolian dishes for contemporary palettes. Its 10 private rooms are perfect for celebrations or business luncheons, while Le Fontainebleau is where guests can indulge in the signature Pullman Active Breakfast with its healthy and balanced menu based on the four key fundamentals of age defence, energy boost, balance, and detox. Le Fontainebleau also offers an a la carte menu and international dinner buffet.
Pullman Baotou features the brand’s new meeting concept Meet/Play, tailored events that combine work and play in an energized atmosphere imbued with cultural elements for fun interaction. Engaging breaks, ice breakers and team activities are designed to boost performance and enhance well-being, above and beyond typical hotel meeting offerings. Meanwhile, Pullman Baotou’s grand ballroom contains 2,000 sqm function space with state of the art equipment for a combined capacity of 1,200 attendees, making it ideal for business events, banquets, or milestone parties. Adjacent to the grand ballroom is an outdoor terrace perfect for al fresco events, evening cocktails, or pre and post function mingles. Pullman Baotou’s leisure facilities include Fit Lounge, an indoor swimming pool and spa lounge.
“We are delighted to open our 35th Pullman property,” says Gary Rosen, chairman and chief operating officer, Accor Greater China. “Pullman Baotou is the latest in the fast-growing brand’s network within Greater China and weaves the brand’s strengths with the historic city’s characteristics.
