Upscale hotel brand Pullman has announced the opening of Pullman Anshan Time Square, in downtown Anshan.

Located in the city dubbed the ‘Capital of Iron and Steel’, the opening means China is now the largest country market in the Pullman network.

The brand has 14 hotels in the country, and will open a further 26 there by 2015.

“We are delighted to introduce the Pullman brand - now 14 hotels strong in Greater China - to Anshan,” said Paul Richardson, chief operating officer of Accor Greater China.

“The opening of Pullman Anshan Time Square, the second Accor hotel in the city, is further strengthening Accor’s overall expansion strategy and opening up opportunities in first to third tier cities around the country.”

Located in Lishan District, Pullman Anshan Time Square enjoys easy access to the city’s airports, and is near government buildings and downtown tourist attractions such as the Jade Buddha Garden and the Tanggangzi hot spring.
