Cr eat ing dynamic gr owt h i n t he upsca le ho t e l segment

Sharing the benef its of a strong market With 1.7 million rooms, the upscale hotel segment represents 40% of hotel industry volume which means 90 billion in revenues. This is one of the industry’s fastest-growing segments, accounting for 5% of annual growth in number of rooms, with demand rising by over 7% a year, leaving room for newcomers to gain a share of this attractive market.

The innovative Pullman vision of upscale hotels, based on acontemporary blend of work and rest, enables the brand to capture a growing share of this market.

Bu i ld ing a ma jor p layer Right from the start, Accor has positioned Pullman in response to this dynamic and rapidly growing market of sophisticated international travelers.

Each Pullman hotel shares the same concept addressing three fundamental priorities: convivial hospitality, peaceful calm and work-enabling high technology.

By 2009, 59 Accor-owned or managed hotels in 23 countries will become Pullmans.

Each Pullman is a “home away from home” for contemporary business travelers.

Conv i v ia l Hosp i t a l i t yAt Pullman, travelers stay in hotels that are special, places that make guests feel at home. The emphasis on common areas, such as a spacious lobby or a friendly chef’s table in restaurants, are just the extra touch that transforms a stay at a Pullman hotel. Plus, Pullman teams are actively committed to enhancing each guest’s stay.

Tr anqu i l i t y Whether Pullman guests want to rest in the comfort and intimacy of their own room, relax and unwind in the restaurant or lounge, or enjoy a spa treatment, the Pullman hotel always offers the ideal setting for much-needed downtime and calm.

Connect i v i t y Pullman is committed to providing state-of-the-art technology and the latest innovations, keeping guests connected with their “home” environment.

Accor is developing today the upscale business travel standards of tomorrow.

The Pullman name instantly brings to mind long voyages, open spaces and plush comfort.

Pullman hotels have recreated an environment of timeless excellence,reconnecting the name with the kind of prestige that creates both recognition and attractiveness. Accor, with its established track record for innovation and performance, gives Pullman the perfect touch of contemporary quality that upscale brands need to remain competitive and attractive. The result: a unique travel experiencewhere work, comfort, technology and a culture of convivial hospitality all come together.

The Pullman 21st century orientation is expressed through its discreet,yet powerful visual identity, consisting of white lower-case lettering on a charcoal grey background. The typography and colors chosen convey a general impression of comfort, care and technology, in line with the brand’s core values and an intimate, warm, welcoming atmosphere.

The two central letters of the Pullman logo brings to mind a well-known icon, the “pause” button.

CHECK IN. CHILL OUT.

Ef fect ive g lobal communicat ion

Pullman corporate advertising evokes the calm pause in a busy schedule represented by a stay at a Pullman hotel. It is designed to emphasize the efficiency of Pullman services with a warm, pleasant feel in every area of the hotel. This distinctive positioning is expressed in the brand promise: Pullman - Check in. Chill out.

Whereas traditional business hotel advertising projects the image of a luxurious stay, the Pullman promise focuses on the real benefit for the traveler. An oasis of calm in a fast moving universe, symbolized by a giant bed representing the comfort and relaxation offered by Pullman.

The Pullman special identity is also reflected on the Internet by the unique look and feel of the www.pullmanhotels.com website, with a detailed presentation of the offer.

Press and public relations operations are developed by Accor communications teams around the world, maximizing flexibility and leveraging local knowledge, regional support and global strength.

A strong positioning made stronger by an evocative advertising campaign.

The new human r esour ces mode l

Every Pullman employee, from a waiter to the general manager, shares the same core values of Commitment, Adaptability, and Creativity.

A unique Global Human Resources Model The Pullman Global Human Resources Model reflects the brand’s positioning and value, one that instills a new attitude for its new attitude hotels. Each employee is taught to be warm, responsive and professional, committed to every aspect of the guest’s stay and involved in every facet of the hotel’s business, so that he or she contributes to the hotel’s growth and value.

New r o les and r espons ib i l i t i esPullman has created new roles and responsibilities, which best personify the brand promise. Alongside the General Manager are an Operations Director, who is second in command and oversees events and meetings, and a Quality and Attitude Manager. An Event Manager and an IT Solutions Manager are also dedicated to the success of meetings and events. The Welcomer is in charge of the guests’ well-being from the moment they arrive.

Job t r a in ingA portfolio of training courses and methods has been developed by Pullman, dedicated to each of the various roles filled in a hotel. In addition, a specific integration program has been introduced to support each launch of a new Pullman hotel. These courses are provided together with 14 Accor Academies around the world.

An innovative Human Resources Model dedicated to the well-being of both guests and team members.

The heart of the Pullman universe is the lobby, with its distinctive atmosphere and warm and accommodating feel.

This is where the Welcomer is the first person to greet guests. His or her role is to ensure guests’ comfort and well-being from the moment they arrive. He or she is versatile and easy to spot so that no guest’s request goes unmet.

The free-standing reception desks and automated kiosks will help speed check-in or check-out, giving guests more time to relax at the bar, use the lounge to work, or take advantage of the lobby’s WiFi access. In hotels near airports, additional automated kiosks are available, where clients can print out their boarding pass.

Guests can also enjoy the “connectivity lounge”, a multi-functional quiet space designed in partnership with Microsoft® specifically to allow guests to work efficiently in privacy. Here they can check email on screens oriented so only their user can see, print out presentations on state-of-the-art printers and touch base with family on personal webcams.

The Welcomer is everything Pullman: cordial, efficient, and personal.

Gues t r ooms : comf or t ab le and connect ed

Pullman bedrooms are quiet, intimate environments where guests can not only rest and relax, but also work efficiently.

Relying on the latest research, Pullman has developed a new bedding concept for a sleeping experience like no other. Each Pullman bed comes equipped with two oversized square pillows for reading and two “memo” pillows filled with high tech Memory Care foam that help relieve neck pain. In addition, two ogive pillows are supplied that guests can place under their knees facilitating relaxation and blood circulation.

With its warm lighting, the spacious bathroom is comfortably inviting, with a large open walk-in rain shower.

Pullman rooms come equipped with coffee or tea facilities, a refrigerator with free drinks and an espresso machine in the Deluxe and Executive rooms. There is also a flat screen television with a wide choice of international channels adapted to each country’s market, including a channel dedicated to fitness and relaxation.

Each room is fitted with a “connectivity panel” that lets guests instantly plug into their own personal technology (laptops, MP3 players, speakers), as well as high quality broadband or WiFi access. Additional items, such as webcams, are available at the reception desk.

Pullman’s new bedding concept, using pillows to relieve neck pain, makes for the best sleep - ever

At Pullman, each guest is guaranteed a balanced diet and a hot meal, anytime of the day or night, 24/7.

Clients may sit next to the hotel’s open kitchen, which is in plain view for everyone to watch and admire the hotel’s culinary talent.

Pullman guests can now gather in a convivial atmosphere thanks to a new concept - the Chef’s Table.
