Pan Pacific Hotels Group expands global footprint

Pan Pacific Hotels Group continues to grow its global pipeline with 13 new properties across 10 key international gateway cities by 2024. More than 3,300 rooms will be added to the group’s inventory, bringing its portfolio to 48 hotels, resorts and serviced suites across 29 cities.

This move sees the group establish its presence in cities such as London; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Jakarta, Indonesia; Dalian, China; Hanoi, Vietnam; and Phnom Penh and Siem Reap in Cambodia.

This expansion started from the recent openings of PARKROYAL Monash Melbourne in Australia in April and Pan Pacific London on Sept. 1, which will be followed by 13 other properties in the coming three years.

“We recognize that the world is saddled with the crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Choe Peng Sum, CEO, Pan Pacific Hotels Group. ”However, in the long run, businesses and economies will be reignited through various measures. Travel for leisure and business will have to resume. The hospitality industry will recover. We are fortunate to be able to tap into [parent company] UOL’s development and design capabilities and are planting our seeds for the future through strategic footprints in key gateway cities, with the view that when the skies reopen, we will be well-placed in strategic locations to take advantage of returning demand.”

The recently opened 237-key Pan Pacific London, the group’s flagship hotel in the U.K., was designed by PLP Architectures, with the hotel interiors by Yabu Pushelberg. It is located in the One Bishopsgate Plaza mixed-use development owned and developed by UOL.
