Accor has signed an agreement to introduce its Pullman brand to Saudi Arabia. The French group has formed a partnership with Kuwait-based Munshaat Real Estate Projects Company to operate the Zamzam Pullman Makkah (formerly the Zamzam Grand Suites) in the city of Mecca. The 1,315-room hotel is to undergo an extensive renovation, which is due to start this month, to bring it in line with Pullman brand standards. Accor currently operates four Pullman hotels in the Middle East and has a further two in the pipeline.
