LP Holding Co., Ltd has signed a management agreement which will see French multinational hotel group AccorHotels take over the management of Mercure Mandalay Hill Resort, Mandalay Hill MGallery by Sofitel and Pullman Yangon Centrepoint at the Mandalay Hill Resort Hotel.
Mandalay Hill Resort Hotel, situated at the foot of Mandalay Hill, is one of the leading hotels in Mandalay and will return to the AccorHotels fold as Mercure Mandalay Hill Resort Hotel. In addition, a new hotel, the Mandalay Hill MGallery by Sofitel, will be built to adjoin to the Mercure Mandalay Hill Resort, while Centrepoint Grand Hotel Yangon will be rebranded as Pullman Yangon Centrepoint.
“Today’s announcement represents a significant partnership with AccorHotels and combines the expertise of a truly global hospitality company with strong local market expertise.
“Myanmar is one of the most sought-after destinations in Southeast Asia since lifting of sanctions,” said Lertsak Nopburanand, director of LP Holding Co.,Ltd.
The Mandalay Hill Resort opened in 1995 under Accor’s global brand Novotel. After EU sanctions were imposed in 2002, Accor relinquished both Novotel Mandalay and Sofitel Project Yangon.
The Novotel Mandalay hotel then came under the management of its owners, LP Holding Co.,Ltd, as the Mandalay Hill Resort Hotel.
The Mercure Mandalay Hill Resort is set in 11 acres of garden and boasts some 206 rooms with restaurants and bars, conference room, banquet centre, spa and fitness centre.
The hotel offers a spectacular view of Mandalay Hill, the Royal Palace, the famous Ayeyarwady River and the city of Mandalay, once the Royal Capital of Myanmar.
The new development, Mandalay Hill MGallery by Sofitel, will be located in the grounds of this hotel and will comprise 120 guest rooms and villas with a restaurant and bar. Additionally a 1000-seat banquet centre will be built to accommodate the growing market of corporate conventions, meetings and wedding events in Mandalay.
The Pullman Yangon Centrepoint is part of Centrepoint Towers, a mixed-use development which includes high-end retail boutiques and a premium office tower. The hotel is located near Yangon’s Supreme Court building and the famous Independence Monument Park.
“Given the lack of internationally-branded, quality rooms in the market, particularly in Mandalay, Mercure Mandalay Hill Resort, Mandalay Hill MGallery by Sofitel and Pullman Yangon Centrepoint are in a great position to take advantage of this undersupplied yet growing market and ride the economic development of Myanmar”, said Lertsak Nopburanand.
