Pullman Bangsar may leave accorhotels group 1st June 2019. The property owner may rebrand it to other chain.
I called the hotel to ask what will happen to my upcoming booking, but they cant answer until things become official, they are still waiting for instruction / guideline from management. I was told i might get refund or transfer to nearby accor property.

Sofitel KL - Special birthday deco happened during turndown service.
Check in early today and basically stayed in room with DND sign on, left room for happy hour and off DND. Came back and saw room refreshed with birthday deco. I believe it was lounge staff informed housekeeping to setup while I was there for cocktail.
