Pullman hotels are giving themselves a facelift in Paris: the Pullman Montparnasse has just led the way, recently inaugurating its new facilities, the fruit of a phase of works spread over the last few months. The establishment, popular with business travellers, now offers 957 rooms that are "designed, comfortable and connected", to quote the main themes highlighted by the Accor group in its press release published on 2 July. Architect and decorator Didier Rey will have orchestrated the renovation of the rooms in a contemporary style combining technology and design, while Didier Gomez will be responsible in the coming weeks for reorganising the hotel's public areas, in particular the lobby, the bar and the Connectivity Lounge by Microsoft dedicated to business customers. A decisive challenge for the Pullman Montparnasse, which is one of Europe's largest conference centre hotels: "The Pullman Paris Montparnasse is a unique hotel: it offers almost 1,000 rooms and 4,000m2 of meeting space right in the heart of the capital", says Denys Sappey. The Managing Director of Pullman France adds: "We are very proud of the hotel's new look and salute the work done by our interior designers. And soon, our four other Paris establishments will be transformed".

The transformation of the Pullman hotels in Paris will continue until the end of 2013, with the renovation of 95% of rooms in the 5 hotels in the capital: Montparnasse, but also Pullman Paris La Défense, Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel, Pullman Paris Aéroport CDG and Pullman Paris Bercy. "This metamorphosis in Paris is part of a global brand project," says Xavier Louyot, Pullman's International Marketing Director, adding: "We want Pullman to continue reinventing the international premium hotel business in order to offer our customers even more solutions. To achieve this, we are continuing to expand our network in all the international business and leisure hubs, and we are also continuing to modernise our current portfolio. The aim is to offer an experience combining performance and indulgence in each of our 65 hotels; for a clientele of cosmopolitan travellers".
