Accor has unveiled aggressive expansion plans in Indonesia, with 21 new hotels across its brands scheduled to open by 2014 in light of the archipelago's robust economy.

The group will kick-off the string of openings with a 316-room Pullman property in the capital, the Pullman Jakarta Central Park, later this year.

In 2012, Accor will open five properties: the Novotel Jakarta Gajah Mada, an MGallery on Kuta Beach, an ibis in Bandung and two all seasons in Bali. The group will pick up pace in 2013 with 12 new openings across the country, including the budget ibis and Formule 1 brands in Jakarta and another two all seasons in Bali. Finally, three hotels will open in 2014.

These properties, in addition to 13 announced earlier this year and the 40 already operating, will bring the total number of properties in the country to 74.

Michael Issenberg, Accor's Asia-Pacific chairman and chief operating officer, said: "The Indonesian economy continues to grow and benefiting from this growth is increased business travel and tourism volumes."

Hôtel de la Cité is stunning news . It's an Amex FHR hotel and I think an LHW too, right? I've been meaning to go for the longest and had a reservation last year that I had to cancel at the last minute.

Hopefully I'll go later this year and book under FHR and see if I get my Le Club Platinum benefits too.

Fashion and design capital Milan is now home to the Uptown Palace, an urban-chic hotel in a handsome high-riser. It is in the world-famous fashion district, and its 158 rooms are brimming with distinctive class featuring a blend of traditional and contemporary Italian furniture.

This hotel also has a presidential suite on the top floor with an unrivalled panoramic view over the cathedral and Milan’s rooftops.

Grand Visconti Palace: an emblem of Milan’s past and present

The Grand Visconti Palace strikes the perfect balance between a historical building’s yesteryear charm and the comfort you expect in a modern hotel. In the 1920s, the 2,500 sqm courtyard housed Mulino Verga, a flour mill. Today, it is the magnificent garden in the centre of the hotel that most of the 172 rooms look out onto.

The 120-sqm Tower Suite is a 3-level shrine to serenity with a private elevator and staircase, and a memorable view over Milan’s rooftops.
The Al V Piano restaurant on the 5th floor is a door to wining and dining journey through Italian flavors that will elate aficionados’ taste-buds.
This hotel also features a Health Club with a 120-sqm indoor pool overlooking the park, and a conference centre with 14 meeting rooms including one for up to 300 people.

Guests who appreciate la dolce vita will love these new MGallery addresses.

Hey there,

just discovered that the HI Warsaw will leave the chain by the end of the year. No wonder if you ask me. The HI sometimes had higher rates than the IC next door - somewhat ridiculous since it is the same chain.

From 01/01/2013 it will be managed by accor and reopen as 'Mercure Warszawa Centrum'.
It is already presented in the accor website (http://www.accorhotels.com/gb/hotel-3385-mercure-warszawa-centrum-opens-112013-book-now/media.shtml).
Rates look similar to the old HI rates, maybe a little higher.

The pictures on the accor website look quite nice, seems as they are planning some soft renovation. But take a closer look on: they are keeping those (ugly) chairs :rolleyes:

Cheers!
