When was the last time a shared experience changed the way you see the world?

We sat down with architect Michelle Kaufmann, a member of the House of Beautiful Business community, to explore how experiencing art together can transform perception.

For Michelle, meaning isn't created in isolation. It's shaped through the spaces we inhabit, the people around us, and the moments we share.

These are the kinds of conversations that inspire Pullman xChange — an event series that brings together curious minds, creative voices, and fresh perspectives from across the Pullman community.

What if dinner came with a front-row seat?

Kappo is a Japanese dining style built around proximity: guests seated close to the action, watching each course come to life in real time.
More than a dinner, it’s a live dialogue between tradition and innovation, precision and spontaneity, chef and guest.
A front-row seat to the craft, and the conversation that happens around it.

Ever noticed how where you sit can shape the entire night?

At Pullman, every seat comes with its own perspective.
A spot at the bar for unexpected conversations, a table for two for deeper connections, a corner booth to observe before stepping into the mix.

The only question is: which one will be yours?

29/05/2026

Blink and you'll miss it, the moment a stranger becomes a story.

It starts with a drink. A shared table. An unexpected conversation that lingers long after the last sip.
At Pullman, the bar is never just a bar.

Light shifts. Perspectives evolve.
At Pullman & Mercure Melbourne Albert Park, architecture isn’t still, it’s alive. Each shape, each reflection draws you in, shifting your point of view.

This is where design connects people and ideas.

Ever wonder where the best business ideas come from?

UNSCRIPTED EXCHANGES • EP. 03 • LOUIS MARTY

, founder of Merci Handy, reveals how a question from his daughter, an Instagram DM, and a lesson from a mountain guide reshaped his view on his projects.
Big decisions don’t happen on plan. They happen in the unexpected.

No roadmap. Just conversations that redirect everything.

Which one changed your game ? 👇🏻

Meet Pullman Hamilton. This is where the shift begins.
A new address where new perspectives come to life through spaces designed to move you.
Signature restaurants where flavour sparks conversation. A private rooftop where the city comes into focus. Each detail plays a role in how the moment unfolds.

Nothing here is neutral. Every space is designed to pull you out of habit, and into something sharper, more social, more awake.

Because the future of hospitality isn’t about where you stay.
It’s about what it unlocks in you.

What happens when a meal changes more than your appetite?

UNSCRIPTED EXCHANGES • EP. 02 • CHLOE WHEATLAND

Chloe E Vegan, plant-based chef & author, shows how food becomes something else entirely - a trigger for ideas, conversations, and unexpected connections shaped by craft, curiosity, and generosity.
It’s never just about what’s on the plate. It’s about what starts around it.

Bring your story to the table.

Arrive together. Let the unexpected do the rest.
Pullman Melbourne City Centre hits differently when you stop planning it.

Think you’ve tasted it all? Think again.
At Pullman Cape Town and Pullman Sydney Penrith the cloche lifts, smoke drifts… and suddenly the taste is a revelation.

Daring techniques. Curated pairings. Vibrant flavours.
Cape Malay spice meets Japanese precision. Local Penrith produce, elevated by contemporary European flair.
Every bite challenges the ordinary and rewrites what you thought you knew about taste.

Still think you've tasted it all?

The most unexpected dining spot in Paris? 🚞
At Pullman Paris Bercy, a restored train wagon sets the scene, but it’s what happens inside that stays with you.

Vintage travel energy meets bold, modern cuisine. Every detail hints at departure, while every dish keeps you grounded in the moment.

The feeling of being somewhere else, without ever leaving your seat.
Not just dinner. A destination.
Would you get on board?

The best things learned were never from places. Always from people.

UNSCRIPTED EXCHANGES • EP. 01 • DAMON DOMINIQUE

Damon has built a life out of crossing borders - languages, cultures, comfort zones. But the exchanges that actually shape him? They don't happen on camera. They happen in between.

No agenda. No script. Just the conversations that made him who he is.

Who's yours? 👇

The best business meetings rarely happen in the meeting room.

And that’s exactly how Pullman Nairobi Upper Hill was designed.

Built around the idea of Workspitality, it challenges the old business hotel model, where work happens in one room and life happens somewhere else. Because business travel should feel less transactional and a lot more human.

23/04/2026

What if a dish could be a dialogue, not just dinner?

At Pullman Vitacura, "Andean Botanical Cuisine" gathered five chefs from Chile and Peru around one idea: plant-based cuisine as a live exchange.
Ancient roots. Andean superfoods. Reimagined through bold techniques that turn the kitchen into a true lab of taste.

This wasn’t just dinner, it was a masterclass of culinary exchange.
And you were not just watching it happen, you were part of it.

Ever tried chicken and beer… in a drink? 🍗🍺
Inspired by one of Korea’s iconic cultural references of chimaek, films on repeat, songs that never left and views from Namsan Tower.
A place becomes an ingredient, and a feeling becomes a flavor.

Pullman always brings an unexpected twist to the bar. Stay tuned for more unfolding behind the bar...

What if creativity isn’t a straight line?

For , Nat Thaipun calls it a rollercoaster, not always knowing where it’s going, but trusting the ride anyway.

At Pullman Singapore Hill Street, ’s POV becomes the lens, a six-course menu designed to be shared, shaped by how it moves between people. A betel leaf tartlet that challenges expectation, coral trout with green chilli, mud crab in southern Thai curry, wagyu with satay, just to name a few.

Because creativity doesn’t stay still. It shifts the moment it’s shared.

That’s the spirit behind TASTE DIFFERENT and what ALL Accor loyalty members experienced at our latest event at Singapore Hill Street.

What turns a table into a shared experience?

At Pullman Quay Grand Sydney Harbour, Pullman’s Asia-Pacific Food & Beverage Ambassador, Nat Thaipun, set a table for twelve, and let it move on its own terms.

There was no fixed sequence. Watermelon with mint, oysters with finger lime, betel leaf ci**rs, wagyu skewers, kangaroo larb, lamb ribs with panang, and mango sticky rice came and went - passed, tasted, revisited.

The food didn’t sit still. Neither did the table. Nat’s cooking kept everything in motion. Dishes built to be shared, conversations built to follow.

An exclusive evening for ALL Accor members in Sydney... and just the beginning of the TASTE DIFFERENT series.

Where will Chef Nat take it next?

Open the folder of a design that doesn’t try to fit in.

At Pullman Paris Bercy, Tom Dixon Studio smashed two worlds together: polished elegance and raw, industrial attitude.
Dandy meets punk - not as a moodboard, but as a working system. Nothing is neutral, and that’s the point.

It’s not designed to be looked at, it’s designed to be used. The lobby isn’t a lobby, it’s a social engine. Work bleeds into drinks, strangers into conversations, design into movement.

So the question isn’t just what caught your eye first. It’s: what kept you there?

31/03/2026

Always just one more stop away from wherever she’s meant to be.

The kind of energy that turns a five-minute wait into an unscripted adventure.

If this is you, own it. If you know them, tag them.

What happens when collaboration leads the way?

At Pullman Auckland, Pullman’s Asia-Pacific Food & Beverage Ambassador, , worked alongside Chef Johnny Roullier to explore what happens when different perspectives meet in the kitchen.

The result was a twelve-course journey where that exchange could be felt in every plate. Dishes like venison, wagyu, snapper, crayfish, pāua, and lamb were matched with drinks that didn’t follow the usual rules, each pairing shifting the way the food was tasted and experienced.

It’s this kind of collaboration that the TASTE DIFFERENT series is built on, bringing together talent to create something unexpected.
An exclusive evening for ALL Accor members in Auckland.

Meet Chef Nat Thaipun.

The mind behind the flavours you won’t stop thinking about after the first bite.

From pop-ups to takeovers across Asia-Pacific, she brings instinct, creativity, and a bit of edge to every plate, turning dining into something you feel, not just eat.

Swipe to join the conversation.

What kind of space allows the future to unfold?

At Pullman xChange, rooms aren’t static. They evolve. Stage one minute, studio the next. Ideas spill out of corners, connections leap across disciplines, energy builds without an agenda.

Because progress doesn’t happen in boxes. It happens in spaces that adapt, invite risk, and let curiosity roam free.

Here, the walls aren’t limits, they’re invitations. The space isn’t just where things happen. It’s what makes them possible.

17/03/2026

What if a single conversation could change the way you see the world?

Ideas don’t arrive fully formed. They emerge in friction, when perspectives that rarely meet collide, when curiosity overcomes certainty, when a casual remark sparks a ripple.

At Pullman xChange, leaders, creators, and curious minds come together to collide perspectives. Conversations stretch across disciplines, cultures, and experiences. What starts as a simple hello can spark an insight, shift thinking, or ignite collaboration.

Because when curiosity leads, exchange becomes electric.

16/03/2026

What happens when something fast meets something that lasts centuries?

At Pullman xChange, the table is where curiosity kicks off. A burger on ancient bread. Fries with vintage wine. Cheese aged for decades alongside fruit that will spoil by morning.

These aren’t just surprising bites. They’re sparks. Moments that make people stop, lean in, and talk. The kind of food that doesn’t just fill a plate, it fills a conversation.

Exchange starts here. With taste. With friction. With the unexpected.

13/03/2026

When did a hallway last make you stop? Or a lobby spark an idea you couldn’t shake?

Most places treat these as the in-between, corridors to pass through, elevator rides to fill with silence, a walk across the lobby on the way to somewhere that supposedly matters more.

Pullman sees it differently.

At Pullman Phu Quoc Beach Resort, Pullman Lima Miraflores and Pullman Sydney Penrith, the spaces in between are designed to spark something. A passing conversation. A moment of curiosity. An idea that shows up when you weren’t looking for one.

Because the best sparks rarely arrive on schedule.They happen in the moments no one planned, somewhere between here and where you thought you were going.

Where did your last unexpected spark happen?
