Perth Airport has joined forces with Australia’s largest hotel operator, which will operate the hotel at the airport estate under the Pullman Hotels & Resorts brand.
Pullman Perth Airport is set to open in 2027 and will feature 240 rooms and suites across eight floors, plus a rooftop restaurant and bar, meeting facilities, lobby lounge cafe, gymnasium, sauna and co-working spaces.
Perth Airport’s chief property officer, Dan Sweet, says the airport has recently announced a $5 billion capital investment program, which is the largest ever private infrastructure development in Perth.
It will deliver a new terminal and ground transport infrastructure, along with the first airport hotel.
The redevelopment also includes a commercial deal with Qantas and Jetstar that will bring 4.4 million seats to and from Perth each year when the new terminal opens in 2031, making the city the second largest Australian gateway for the airlines.
“We are delighted to be partnering with world-leading hospitality group Accor to deliver our first hotel,” says Sweet.
“The new Pullman Perth Airport hotel will be a world-class facility located at the front door to our major terminals.
“It will make it even more convenient for international and interstate visitors, providing a place to stay and relax during connections.
“Pullman and its parent company, Accor, are both well-known and respected global hospitality brands.
“Their expertise and experience will ensure a fantastic new accommodation offering debuts in Perth, particularly for those transiting through the airport.”
Accor Pacific’s chief operating officer of its PM&E division, Adrian Williams, says expansion of the group’s airport hotel network highlights the evolution of airport precincts into major commercial and service centres.
“We are thrilled to partner with Perth Airport to deliver Pullman Perth Airport,” he says.
“Given the hotel’s unrivalled location and exceptional facilities, we anticipate strong interest and demand for Pullman Perth Airport from business and leisure travellers.
“Accor is the leading and largest operator of airport hotels in the Pacific region – with 22 airport hotels – and we are delighted to add Pullman Perth Airport to this collection.”
Pullman Perth Airport will be the fourth Pullman airport hotel in the Pacific region, joining Pullman Sydney Airport, Pullman Brisbane Airport and Te Arikinui Pullman Auckland Airport Hotel.
