Pullman brand arrives at Margaret River
On the 19 September, Quay West Resort Bunker Bay in Western Australia’s Margaret River wine region will rebrand to Pullman Resort Bunker Bay, the first Pullman hotel to be launched in the state.
It is part of a rapid expansion plan for Accor’s five-star Pullman brand across Australia, Asia and the rest of the world.
Nestled alongside the white sands and azure waters of Bunker Bay on the northern fringe of the Margaret River region, and covering 16ha of magnificent landscaped gardens, the move to Pullman marks a significant milestone in the resort’s history, since it opened in 2004.
General manager of the resort, Bronwyn Bulpitt, said the international branding would benefit the whole region, with Accor’s global sales, marketing and distribution set to showcase the region in many of Australia’s key inbound markets.
“The resort has really established itself as one of Western Australia’s leading resorts in its eight years of operation, and with Pullman branding I think we can take the resort to new levels,” said Ms Bulpitt. “We will benefit from the rapid expansion of the brand in many of Western Australia’s key markets, particularly the east coast of Australia, the UK, Europe and in Asia.
“Margaret River has so much potential as an international tourism destination, as there are few places in the world that can offer such an attractive combination of renowned wineries, cutting edge cuisine, a vibrant arts sector, outstanding beaches, natural scenery and premium accommodation. The number of events in the region is growing, and November’s Margaret River Gourmet Escape will be particularly popular, as many of the world’s most coveted chefs will descend on the region and profile the region’s innovative wine and food culture. It is a very exciting time to be re-branding the resort.”
Pullman Resort Bunker Bay, Margaret River Region offers 150 bungalow-style villas all feature king size beds, well-equipped kitchenettes, opulent bathrooms, and wireless Internet. The resort also has six state-of-the-art meeting rooms and a permanent marquee that can hold up to 400 people, making it an ideal setting for weddings and gala events. The variable conference and meeting rooms which can for up to 180 people have an abundance of natural light with picturesque views over Bunker Bay.
An award-winning Mii Spa day spa is also on site and boasts six spa suites with secluded courtyards and personal showers.
