We are very excited that Novotel Phuket Kamala Beach Resort has opened as our 100th Novotel in Asia Pacific," said Michael Issenberg, Chairman and Chief Operating Officer of Accor Asia Pacific. "Since launching our first Novotel in Asia Pacific in Singapore in 1982, the brand has become a favourite with travellers in this region and it is especially fitting that our 100th Novotel should be a resort as the brand is increasingly focused on expanding its resort network.
