Overview

Tokyu Hotels International established the "Pan Pacific Hotels" brand name in 1975. It became Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts in 1986 with the Traveller's Palm logo. In 2007, UOL Group Limited acquired Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts from Tokyu, and renamed it to Pan Pacific Hotels Group.

The group also owns the Parkroyal Hotels & Resorts brand, which includes the Parkroyal on Pickering.[2]

History

The brand name "Pan Pacific Hotels" was born when Japanese conglomerate Tokyu Group established its new marketing identity and sales network for its hotels in 1975, under Tokyu Hotels International. The first Pan Pacific hotel established was Sari Pan Pacific in Jakarta, which was opened in 1976.

It established the Emerald Management Company (EMC) to manage its hotels in Hawaii and California in 1983, and in the same year, the Traveller's Palm logo was born. In 1986, Pan Pacific Vancouver and Pan Pacific Singapore were opened. Tokyu Hotels International and EMC merged to become Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts, and in 1989, the Traveller's Palm logo became the company-wide mark for the hotel group.

Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts has since extended its presence to other parts of Asia and North America, including Beijing, Dhaka, Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu, Manila, Melbourne, Singapore, Vancouver, Whistler and Seattle.[3] Its Anaheim location, built in 1984, was acquired by The Walt Disney Company in 1995, and subsequently integrated into the Disneyland Resort as Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel.

Global Hotel Alliance (GHA)

In 2007, Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts became a founding member of the Global Hotel Alliance, the world's largest alliance of independent hotel brands comprising more than 30 member brands with over 550 upscale and luxury hotels with 110,000 rooms across 76 countries.

Expansion into Greater China, Oceania and Europe

In line with the brand's plans to expand the Pacific Hotels and Resorts portfolio in Asia, Greater China and Oceania, Pan Pacific debuted in China with Pan Pacific Xiamen in 2009 and Pan Pacific Suzhou in the following year. The brand also extended into Australia with the launch of Pan Pacific Perth in 2011. The opening of Pan Pacific Hotel and Serviced Suites Ningbo in 2012 and Pan Pacific Tianjin in 2014 has further strengthened the brand's presence in China. The Pan‌ ‌Pacific‌ ‌London‌ represents ‌Pan‌ ‌Pacific‌ ‌Hotels‌ ‌Group's‌ ‌first‌ foothold ‌in‌ ‌Europe.‌ ‌Located‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌mixed-use development‌ ‌at‌ ‌One‌ ‌Bishopsgate‌ ‌Plaza,‌ London,‌ ‌the‌ ‌hotel‌ ‌is‌ ‌currently‌ ‌under‌ ‌construction‌ and is expected to open early 2021.[4]

In 2008, the brand launched its first extended-stay property with Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Orchard, Singapore. In 2010, it opened Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Bangkok and in 2013, Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Beach Road, Singapore, welcomed its first guests.
