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."

Casablanca welcomes Sofitel
For the first time, Sofitel is to open its doors in Casablanca, Morocco's economic capital, with Sofitel Casablanca Tour Blanche. The glass building designed by Belgian architect Patrick Guénard reflects the breath of modernity that the country's largest city is currently experiencing.
Situated at the heart of the business district the 24-story hotel stands out in the skyline. Frenchmen Marc Hertrich and Nicolas Adnet were given the job of decorating its interior. The pair have managed to ingeniously mix clean lines with Moorish trimmings. The innovatively designed 141 bedrooms and 30 suites all have a view of the white city.....

And it's next to the Le Meridien Royal Mansour which is where I always stay when in Casa. Old world class usually wins for me.
That said the LM and Sheraton seem to do pretty good business so I would expect the Sofitel to do well in Casa.

MGallery continues to conquer Australia
The MGallery Collection already counted two best-in-class addresses in Australia and is taking a spectacular leap forward as the year draws to an end......
Celebrity lifestyle in Melbourne
On to 630 Chapel Street, a Melbourne fashion and shopping hotspot. The Como has just welcomed its first guests as an MGallery hotel – and treated them to an astounding experience starting at the carriage door. And celebrities, artists, musicians and actors have flocked to it. This hotel is in one of the city’s most prominent districts and nestled in countless well-known restaurants, stores and cafés. Its 107 light-filled and generously-sized suites feature colorful pop touches. The modern atmosphere provides the perfect backdrop for this hotel’s Memorable Moment: a shopping spree in the second-largest Australian city’s fashion-designer district with an image and style consultant to the stars, complete with a hairdressing session, makeup session and limo!
In a billiards champion’s footsteps
Our tour of Melbourne ends at the Lindrum, which will be joining the Collection this December. It is a stone’s throw from the theatres and time-out hangouts, and surprises guests as soon as they see the neon sign that deliberately emulates 1950s style and conjures up Broadway’s heyday. The Lindrum has 59 rooms and all the class you expect from a “boutique-hotel” – and is a perfect venue for classy seminars and conventions, including a billiards room that pays tribute to star Australian player… Walter Lindrum! .....

Accor PR:
The MGallery Collection has added two new addresses in Milan, Italy. This brand is pushing ahead with its growth drive across the Alps and these two hotels are steeped in atmospheres combining Italy’s hallmark design and tradition.
MGallery now counts 9 hotels in its Italian collection of prominent landmarks. And la dolce vita is ubiquitous at these two addresses, the Uptown Palace and Grand Visconti Palace.
A skyscraper hotel with a 360° view over Milan
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.
Epicureans will enjoy the Uptown restaurant’s traditional Lombard cuisine by bold and creative young chef Carlo Ontano.
Over the next few months, this hotel will also include a spa for guest relaxation and wellness, featuring Turkish baths, a Jacuzzi, massages and beauty care services.
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!
