Movenpick is a relatively new entrant into the Australia and New Zealand hotel market. While managed by Accor, it’s a Swiss company and brings a Swiss flair to its hotels.
Over the last few years, it has started opening hotels in Australia and New Zealand.
The Movenpick Hotel Hobart was the first, opening its doors to the public in early 2021. Since then, the brand has continued to grow, comprising 2 hotels in Australia, and another 2 in New Zealand.
If you thought Movenpick was a brand of ice cream, you’d be right. The ice cream, as well as other Movenpick branded food and beverage, is on offer at the hotels.
But wait, there’s more. There’s chocolate. With its Swiss background, the hotels dedicate an hour each day to ‘The Chocolate Hour’. This is an indulgent tasting experience, allowing hotel guests to sample an assortment of sweet treats, such as éclairs, brownies, truffles and more.
