Accor has announced the renewal of partnership agreements for over 40 hotels, encompassing 5,500 keys across Australia.
This strategic move reinforces Accor’s commitment to expanding its footprint in the Pacific region, underscoring the company’s dedication to maintaining a strong presence in key Australian markets. The renewals will ensure that these properties continue to benefit from Accor’s global brand recognition, innovative service offerings, and extensive distribution network, providing travelers with a consistent and high-quality hospitality experience.Since early 2022, Accor Pacific partners have invested more than A$450 million (US$304.3 million) in renovations and refurbishments across their properties. This substantial investment reflects the group’s commitment to elevating the guest experience through modern and luxurious accommodations. By updating existing properties and enhancing facilities, Accor aims to meet the evolving needs of travelers, ensuring their hotels remain competitive and appealing in the rapidly changing hospitality landscape.
A notable highlight of these renewals is Accor’s long-term franchise agreement with Silversea Investments, marking its 40th renewal. This partnership includes significant refurbishment projects for Novotel Sydney Parramatta and Mercure Sydney Parramatta, which will be rebranded as Novotel Sydney Rosehill upon the renovation’s completion. Now under the management of Trilogy Hotels, these properties are set to play a crucial role in the booming Parramatta area, which is poised for substantial growth due to ongoing infrastructure development and the anticipated opening of the Western Sydney Airport in 2026.
On the Sunshine Coast, the prestigious Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort has also renewed its partnership with Accor, further solidifying its status as a flagship property within the Sofitel brand. The resort, known for its luxurious setting on Noosa’s Hasting Street, is preparing to unveil renovation plans that will enhance its position as a premier destination for luxury travelers. These enhancements are expected to elevate the guest experience, ensuring Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort remains a leading choice for high-end leisure and business travelers.
Accor Pacific has also developed the largest dedicated hotel franchise platform in the region, supported by a robust franchise team. This platform enables Accor to collaborate effectively with franchise owners and third-party operators, offering flexible solutions tailored to meet diverse business and investment strategies. By leveraging this comprehensive support system, Accor is well-positioned to continue its growth and success in the Australian hospitality market, delivering exceptional service and innovative experiences to guests across its portfolio.
