Accor Signs Pullman Hotel in Fiji

Accor is to expand its portfolio of hotels in Fiji with the addition of a new-build, multi-million dollar Pullman hotel scheduled to open in 2016.

The Pullman Nadi Bay Resort & Spa is being developed by the Gokal Group, one of Fiji’s most successful home-grown corporations and a household name in electronics and appliances in the South Pacific. The resort will be Gokal Groups’ first upscale hotel development in Fiji.

Garth Simmons, Senior Vice President Operations Accor New Zealand & Fiji, said, “In recent times we have recognised a sweet spot in the upscale market in Fiji, ideal for the Pullman brand which bridges the needs for business and leisure guests. We congratulate Gokal Group on their initiative and vision to invest in this great development, and believe it will contribute to the true potential of this region being realised in coming years via significant employment, tourism and revenue growth.”

The Pullman Nadi Bay Resort & Spa will be just two kilometres drive from the Nadi International Airport.

The finished resort is expected to open with 234 rooms and suites, and will offer guests an extensive range of facilities including six restaurants and bars, two swimming pools and a day spa.

Pullman Nadi Bay Resort & Spa will also feature four meetings rooms, with capacity for up to 400 guests’ theatre style.

Currently under construction, the new Pullman project will employ 300 staff once completed and operational.

The Pullman Nadi Bay Resort & Spa will be Accor’s 5th address in Fiji, complementing its existing hotel portfolio incorporating the Mercure Nadi, Novotel Nadi, Novotel Suva Lami Bay, and the Sofitel Fiji Resort & Spa on Denarau Island.
