NZ Herald Wednesday 24 May 2017 New Zealand’s largest hotel operator, AccorHotels, has announced that a new five-star Pullman hotel will open in Rotorua in late 2018/early 2019.
Last week, Chow Group Management Ltd announced it had awarded the hotel management contract for its Rotorua hotel development – in the former Zen Building on Arawa St – to Accor, and aimed to open at the end of next year or the start of 2019.
AccorHotels already operates two other hotels in Rotorua, Novotel and ibis.
Currently undergoing a refurbishment from a commercial building to a 130-room hotel, the new property will be 500m from Lake Rotorua and will carry a five-star brand.
According to a statement from AccorHotels New Zealand, Fiji and French Polynesia senior vice president, Gillian Millar, the hotel will boast panoramic views of the city and lake area and feature a sophisticated executive lounge – a hallmark of every Pullman hotel – business lounge, chill-out lounge, restaurant and bar, gymnasium, car parking as well as five meeting rooms catering for conference and events.
