Accor has announced a new management deal which will see three hotels from Bayview International Hotels and Resorts come under the Accor banner. Under the deal Accor will take over the management of two properties in Australia, and one in New Zealand from May.
The three properties are:
- The Sydney Boulevard Hotel in East Sydney,
- Bayview Geographe Resort in Busselton Western Australia, and
- Wairakei Resort Taupo in the North Island of New Zealand.
For the time being, all three properties will operate under their existing brand names. However, Accor is planning extensive refurbishments of the properties prior to a relaunch under Accor brands.
According to Adrian Williams, Chief Operating Officer for Accor’s Premium, Midscale & Economy division in the Pacific
This is an exciting milestone for Accor as we continue to expand our presence in the Pacific. These three properties are well-loved by locals and visitors alike, and we are thrilled to bring them into the Accor family. Our vision is to elevate their guest experiences through our powerful brands, ALL loyalty program, and world-class service offering.
With a comprehensive refurbishment plan in place, we can’t wait to unveil their refreshed identities and welcome even more travellers to these remarkable locations.
The Hotels
Sydney Boulevard Hotel
The Sydney Boulevard Hotel is one if Sydney’s most iconic and storied hotels, featuring 277 guestrooms, including seven suites, 11 meeting spaces, a ballroom, a restaurant and café, and an exclusive top-floor meeting room with breathtaking views of the CBD and Sydney Harbour.
Bayview Geographe Resort
Bayview Geographe Resort is nestled three hours south of Perth in Busselton. This stunning resort features 137 rooms, a variety of villas, an indoor heated swimming pool, a tennis court, a golf putting green, and direct beach access.
Wairakei Resort Taupo
Wairakei Resort Taupo is set in the geothermal wonderland of Wairakei, just north of Lake Taupo. This resort offers 187 guestrooms, a nine-hole golf course, a geothermal swimming pool, a day spa, multiple dining venues, and extensive conference facilities.
Final Words
It’s always good to see hotels join the Accor family. Of course, we will have to wait and see which brands the hotels will operate under following their refurbishment.
Nevertheless, I have spotted them on the Accor website, so they appear to be bookable already.
