AccorHotels has brought its upscale Pullman brand to Japan for the first time, with the signing of a new hotel in central Tokyo.
Scheduled to open in autumn 2018, Pullman Tokyo Tamachi will form part of the MSB Tamachi complex, which is directly connected to the JR Tamachi Station and 30 minutes from Haneda International Airport.
“Japan keeps attracting more and more international travellers, with historically high growth rate recorded in the beginning of 2017,” said Patrick Basset, AccorHotels’ chief operating officer for Upper Southeast & Northeast Asia.
“The increasing inbound market, especially from Korea and other Asian countries is on a continuous positive trend which will be amplified as the country will benefit from the worldwide attention with the upcoming 2020 Summer Olympic Games.”
The 143-room Pullman Tokyo Tamachi will join AccorHotels’ collection of 12 properties in Japan. The company currently operates almost 50 Pullman hotels in Asia Pacific, located in China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam.
