Apart from a prime address in Hobart's Elizabeth Street, and meetings facilities, business guests can enjoy the hotel's Chocolate Hour — a nod to Mövenpick's Swiss origins.
Accor's premium Swiss hospitality brand, Mövenpick, and
Singaporean-based global hospitality group, Global Premium Hotels, have
entered a hotel management agreement to launch the first Mövenpick hotel
in Australia.
Mövenpick Hotel Hobart will open its doors this coming mid-January
2021, with a prime address on Elizabeth Street — one of the city's
iconic heritage zones, and within proximity to key commercial, retail
and leisure attractions.
Public access areas sit on the lower first to third floors, while the
221-rooms spread over floors four to 18, to offer guests city and
harbour views. Business guests may book the function space which holds
up to 100 guests, or divide it into two smaller meeting rooms, along
with a pre-event area and full bar.
The restaurant offers modern Italian dishes as well as locally
inspired dishes, and the sweet toothed traveller should take note of the
hotel's Chocolate Hour — a nod to Mövenpick's Swiss origins. The
tasting experience for hotel guests include samples of an assortment of
treats, such as éclairs, brownies, truffles and more.
Regular guests will also be able to order the brand's signature
Healthy Shots of energy blends and Go Healthy range of nutritious dishes
both available during breakfast, and Mövenpick’s in-house range of food
and beverages.
For those heading out, take a short stroll to the historical
Salamanca precinct known for its art and craft markets, or take a drive
past Hobart's waterfront precinct, a wine tour, and a stop at Museum of
Old and New Art.
“Mövenpick Hotel Hobart will be a unique addition to the already
vibrant city of Hobart. We were captivated by the Mövenpick brand for
this hotel as it befittingly has a 70-year culinary legacy and is
renowned for delivering an authentic and memorable guest experience.
Being strategically located in the heart of Hobart’s CBD on historic
Elizabeth Street, we felt it was important for the hotel to embody
Tasmania’s rich culture, while still provide travellers with a perfect
launch pad to explore Hobart and the wider region," said Global Premium
Hotels chairman, James Koh.
More plans to increase Mövenpick's presence across the Pacific is in
place. "[We] believe Mövenpick will quickly gain recognition for its
culinary and service excellence in the Australian hotel market," said
Simon McGrath, chief executive officer for Accor Pacific.
