Accor has signed a dual-branded development near Bengaluru Airport, adding 450 rooms to its pipeline in the growing northern airport corridor. The project, developed by SLK Group, is scheduled to open in 2032.
The project will contain 200 rooms under the Pullman Bengaluru Airport brand and 250 rooms for the ibis Bengaluru Airport brand, uniting Accor’s upscale and budget offerings in one site. The two hotels are intended to serve business and leisure guests, MICE participants, airline personnel, transit users and teams staying for extended projects.
Situated in the airport strip of Bengaluru, the scheme is set to meet rising demand driven by the expansion of aviation, technology, aerospace, logistics and commercial sectors in North Bengaluru. Ranju Alex, chief executive of Accor South Asia, stated, “We are pleased to bring this dual-branded development to Bengaluru, catering to the needs of premium and economy travellers by integrating two distinct Accor brands in one location.”
Pullman Bengaluru Airport will host three dining concepts: a specialty restaurant, a lounge bar in the lobby, and an all-day dining outlet. In addition, the hotel will provide roughly 1,500 square metres of space for meetings and events, complemented by pre-function zones and ancillary areas suitable for conferences, corporate meetings and social functions.
The ibis Bengaluru Airport property will contain about 300 square metres dedicated to conferences and events, as well as an all-day dining restaurant, a lobby lounge and a bar. Guests at either hotel will also have access to a fitness centre and a swimming pool. Manish Singhvi, chief executive of SLK Hotels & Resorts, remarked, “We are delighted to partner with Accor on this dual-branded development.”
The signing further expands Accor’s pipeline in Bengaluru, reflecting the growing importance of the airport corridor beyond transit demand. Accor India & South Asia currently operates more than 75 hotels across the luxury, premium, midscale, and economy segments under various brands.
