Pullman delivers an upscale, upbeat hotel experience in tune with modern travel. Its hotels are designed for people who mix work and leisure, with connected public spaces, good gyms and bars that work for a meeting by day and a drink at night.

A name from the railways

The Pullman name goes back to the luxury sleeping cars developed by George Pullman in the United States in the nineteenth century. Like Fairmont's Canadian castles, it is a reminder that much of the hotel industry grew up around the railways.

Where you will find it

Pullman is mostly found in busy city centres, near airports and at resorts, especially in Europe, Asia and Australia. It is a practical choice for conferences and short business trips, and many resorts add a relaxed holiday feel.

For members

Pullman hotels are a reliable way to keep earning Status Points between luxury stays. Business travellers often use them during the week and spend the points on a Fairmont or Sofitel at the weekend.
