Accor has signed an agreement with Sarin Hotels to open a second The Sebel Hotel in Thorndon, Wellington. This follows the successful opening of The Sebel Wellington Lower Hutt in May earlier this year.
“The partnership allows us to bring a new level of sophistication to the city's heart, enhancing our guests' experience with the exceptional standards that Accor is well known for,” said Udai Sarin, CEO of Sarin Hotels.
“The union of our local expertise and international support system means our customers can also take advantage of Accor's global distribution and loyalty network, creating a distinctive offering that caters to leisure and business travellers.”
The nine-storey 72 rooms serviced apartment hotel is located next to Wellington’s Sky Stadium and is within walking distance of the city’s central government offices and embassy districts.
“Trusted brands like The Sebel bring quality and credibility to the serviced apartments sector, which has been rapidly growing in popularity,” said Accor Pacific Chief Executive Officer Sarah Derry.
“The signing of The Sebel Wellington Thorndon is part of Accor's ongoing commitment to expanding our portfolio of hotels in New Zealand, focusing on providing guests with high-quality accommodation and exceptional service.”
The Sebel Wellington Thorndon is Accor's fourth Sebel hotel in New Zealand. Managed by Sarin Hotels, a family-owned company specialising in hotel and events centre ownership and management, The Sebel Wellington Thorndon is set to open in September 2023.
