- Accor has signed a significant portfolio deal with Bayview International Hotels & Resorts to manage three properties in Australia and New Zealand starting May 2025.
- The properties, which include The Sydney Boulevard Hotel, Bayview Geographe Resort, and Wairakei Resort Taupo, will undergo extensive refurbishments before relaunching under Accor brands.
Accor is set to expand its footprint in Australia and New Zealand following a major portfolio agreement with Bayview International Hotels & Resorts.
This partnership entails Accor taking over the management of three significant properties: 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. The management transition is scheduled to take place in May 2025.
The strategic expansion reflects Accor’s dedication to delivering top-tier hospitality experiences across the Pacific region. The three properties, which are prominent among locals and visitors, will be integrated into the Accor family.
All three properties will undergo substantial refurbishment before being relaunched under Accor brands, enhancing their appeal to both domestic and international travellers. Until the rebranding, the hotels will continue operating under their current names.
The Sydney Boulevard Hotel is one of Sydney’s most celebrated hotels, with 277 guestrooms, including seven suites, 11 meeting spaces, a ballroom, a restaurant and café, and an exclusive top-floor meeting room with panoramic views of the CBD and Sydney Harbour.
Bayview Geographe Resort is situated three hours south of Perth in Busselton. The resort features 137 rooms, various villas, an indoor heated swimming pool, a tennis court, a golf putting green, and direct beach access.
Wairakei Resort Taupo, nestled in the geothermal wonderland of Wairakei, just north of Lake Taupo, offers 187 guestrooms, a nine-hole golf course, a geothermal swimming pool, a day spa, multiple dining venues, and extensive conference facilities.
Accor operates over 400 hotels in the Pacific region under various high-profile brands, offering a spectrum of experiences from luxury to economy.
