Surrounded by major retail malls, leading fashion labels and global brands, Pullman Singapore Orchard will put guests in the city's commercial heart. Orchard and Somerset MRT stations are only moments away, and Changi International Airport can be conveniently reached in just 20 minutes.
Asian economic hub growing into vibrant global tourism destination
"Singapore is a trendsetting city that has evolved from an Asian economic hub into a vibrant global tourism destination," explains Garth Simmons, chief executive officer of Accor, Southeast Asia, Japan & South Korea, and thus makes it "the perfect setting" for the Pullman brand.
The brand has a history that dates back more than 150 years, but now attracts a new generation of digital nomads, millennial globetrotters, and business professionals. This new addition to the portfolio will "deliver bold and creative stays, surrounded by world-class dining and shopping venues," says Mr Simmons.
