The Pullman Chennai Anna Salai spans 5,000m² and offers 232 rooms equipped with modern amenities and technology to cater to both business and leisure travellers.
Accor Asia premium, midscale and economy chief operating officer Garth Simmons said: “India remains a key market for Accor, and the launch of Pullman Chennai Anna Salai underscores our commitment to pioneering premium hospitality experiences.
“Pullman’s dynamic design, immersive social spaces, and forward-thinking approach make it the ideal destination for modern travellers seeking both purpose and connection. This opening marks a significant step in shaping the future of hospitality in the region.”
The establishment boasts more than 1,700m² to accommodate corporate and social events, enhanced by advanced meeting technology and connectivity options.
