ACCOR’s global CEO and Chairman Denis Hennequin was in Australia last week for the first time in his role with the group to inspect a range of Accor and the newly acquired Mirvac Hotels in Sydney and Melbourne.
The Paris based CEO stayed at the Sofitel properties in both capitals, and said he was “very impressed” with the Pullman Sydney Olympic Park.
The visit followed Accor’s buy-out of the Mirvac Hotel group.
“This is the first acquisition of a major hotel company by Accor in 15 years, and it shows that we can grow not just organically but by making strategic acquisitions. It is a great signal”, said Hennequin who is pictured with Simon McGrath, VP Australia at the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth.
