Accor enters Sri Lanka with two Pullman hotels in Colombo and Bentota

Pullman, the Accor brand built around exchange, has made its debut in Sri Lanka with the opening of Pullman Colombo City Centre and Pullman Bentota Resort & Spa.

The dual opening marks a significant milestone for Accor in South Asia, bringing Pullman’s signature blend of purposeful design, vibrant social spaces, distinctive dining and wellbeing experiences to two of Sri Lanka’s most compelling destinations.

More than places to stay, both hotels have been created as destinations where business, leisure and culture come together through meaningful moments of exchange.

Ranju Alex, CEO, Accor South Asia, said: “This is an exciting moment for Accor as we introduce Pullman to Sri Lanka for the first time. Pullman has always been a brand built around bringing people, cultures and ideas together, making it a natural fit for a destination that continues to attract travellers seeking authentic experiences alongside world-class hospitality.

“Sri Lanka is an important and growing market within South Asia, with tremendous potential across business, leisure and experiential tourism. With Pullman Colombo City Centre and Pullman Bentota Resort & Spa, we are bringing two distinctive hospitality experiences that reflect the energy of Colombo and the natural beauty of Bentota.”

Ashok Pathirage, Chairman and Managing Director of the Softlogic Group and Softlogic Holdings, said: “Partnering with Accor to introduce the internationally acclaimed Pullman brand to Sri Lanka, with flagship five-star properties in Colombo and Bentota, marks a defining milestone for Softlogic Holdings and for the country’s hospitality landscape.

“This initiative reflects our long-term confidence in Sri Lanka’s economic resurgence and tourism potential, as well as our commitment to building world-class hospitality infrastructure that elevates the nation’s global standing.

“We believe Pullman Colombo City Centre and Pullman Bentota Resort & Spa, both five-star destinations, will set new benchmarks in premium hospitality, becoming preferred choices for business travellers, conferences, social celebrations and leisure guests alike, while contributing significantly to employment, tourism growth and the overall development of Sri Lanka.”

Located within Colombo’s commercial and lifestyle district, Pullman Colombo City Centre offers a sophisticated destination for both business and leisure travellers. The hotel features 219 elegantly appointed rooms and suites.
