Undaunted by the trials and tribulations facing the hospitality and travel sectors, high-end hotel group Accor has announced an ambitious schedule of new openings for 2021, including premium properties in Southeast Asia, South Korea and beyond.
If you’re shortlisting hotels with the wow factor to visit, it seems your bucket list is about to get a lot longer.
Notable openings include V Villas Phuket MGallery, a 24-pool villa resort, which will offer five premium dining outlets, spa and wellness centre on the island of Phuket, Thailand, and the new Admiral Hotel in Manilla, which promises to celebrate the city’s golden era with a blend of modern Spanish and Art Deco design.
