Accor Asia Pacific managing director, Michael Issenberg, in Hong Kong last month during the annual World of Accor roadshow, said the company was on schedule to launch 20 hotels this year, while another 40 hotels were either under construction or in the final planning phase.
The 60 new hotels will be spread across China and include deluxe Sofitel and Grand Mercure hotels, mid-market Novotel and Mercure hotels, and economy Ibis hotels.
Accor currently operates 43 hotels in mainland China and Hong Kong.
With the addition of the new hotels, the total network is expected to grow to more
than 100 hotels by the end of the decade.
