Accor, the largest international hotel operator in Asia-Pacific, celebrates the significant expansion of its Novotel hotel network across India. The world-class upper mid-scale brand from Accor continues to grow rapidly with a record opening of three Novotel hotels in Q4 of the year – Novotel Goa Shrem Resort, Novotel Ahmedabad, and recently, Novotel Pune.
This record performance is proving a growth engine in driving Accor hotel development around the region and helping Accor capture a growing share of travellers in the commercial & leisure districts of Goa, Ahmedabad and Pune.
Speaking on the expansion, Jean-Michel Cassé, Senior Vice President, Operations, Accor India said, “Accor is focused on India as a core growth market and the expansion of the Novotel brand in 2013 has been positive with three significant openings during the year. With brand Novotel, Accor has set new standards in the hospitality industry and hopes to introduce new segments and new markets especially for MICE, besides leisure. Novotel in India has firmly established itself as one of the most respected hotel brands today. The properties have been commended by guests and received recognition for the exceptional services. With the opening of Novotel Pune, Accor continues to break away from the tradition and revolutionises the experience with a ‘Virtual Concierge’ facility. This will enable Novotel properties to enhance guest experiences and become a benchmark in hospitality technology innovations.”
