Accor Inks Agreement for Mövenpick Hotel in Uzbekistan’s Capital

Mövenpick Hotel Tashkent, a renowned establishment among global tourists and locals in Uzbekistan’s capital city, is set to undergo a transformation under the Accor brand. Accor, in collaboration with InterHotel LLC, has officially announced the signing of this exciting venture, expanding its presence in the vibrant country.

Originally welcoming guests in 1997, Mövenpick Hotel Tashkent has become a preferred destination due to its prime location on Amir Temur Avenue. This bustling thoroughfare leads directly to Mustaqillik (Independence Square), the heart of Uzbekistan, and is surrounded by prominent business centers, an array of shops, and a diverse selection of restaurants.

The hotel’s strategic positioning offers convenience to travelers, with the international airport just a 30-minute drive away and the train station, featuring a high-speed rail line connecting to Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva, and other significant cities in Uzbekistan, a mere 20-minute drive away. Additionally, the Badamzar metro station is conveniently located nearby, providing an efficient means of transportation throughout the city.

Within walking distance of Mövenpick Hotel Tashkent, guests will discover a multitude of attractions and amenities. An International Business Center and the country’s main exhibition venue, UzExpoCentre, are easily accessible, catering to business travelers and event attendees. Families traveling with children can create lasting memories at the nearby Tashkentland amusement park, where thrilling rides, an aquapark with multiple pools, and a serene Japanese garden featuring a picturesque lake and tea house await exploration.

 

Patrick Mendes, CEO Europe & North Africa at Accor, comments about Accor’s expansion strategy:

“Accor is continuously growing its network with the right product in the right markets and is proud to lay claim to the most diversified portfolio of hotel brands in the global hospitality industry. One of the key goals in our growth strategy is to develop in the most popular travel destinations for tourists and business travelers around the world.”

The tourism infrastructure of Uzbekistan is actively developing, and we are confident that the opening of Mövenpick Hotel Tashkent will become a sought after destination for international travelers and residents, who will appreciate the brand’s Swiss heritage in the heart of Tashkent.”

Director of InterHotel LLC, Sardor Malikov, talks excitedly about Mövenpick Hotel Tashkent’s transformation under Accor’s partnership:
