La Vie Hotels and Resorts has celebrated the success of its stable of boutique hotels as ADGE Hotel and Residence opened with incredibly strong occupancy, and 202 Elizabeth in Surry Hills has continued to captivate the hearts and minds of locals and visitors to the state.
With guests having sought more than just a place to rest; craving hotels with personalities, intriguing interiors, and a touch of uniqueness, La Vie’s expertise in helping shape and guide the direction of the boutique hotels they manage has led to a groundswell of positive press and delighted travellers.
Whether it’s welcoming pooches through the door or investing in beautiful, all Australian-made and sourced furnishings and artworks at 202 Elizabeth, or allowing the senses to run wild at ADGE Hotel and Residences, La Vie Hotels and Resorts has created a tapestry of moments that resonate with the boutique/lifestyle hotel seeker, and has made its mark.
Ensuring the hotels are well located for the clientele that are looking for boutique stays has been a key component to their success, with 202 Elizabeth within walking distance to the city’s best restaurants and bars, while ADGE Hotel and Residence is just seconds from Oxford Street and the vibrancy of Crown Street.
Craig Bond, Managing Director of La Vie Hotels and Resorts, said the distinctiveness and personalised touch offered by boutique hotels create a strong allure for guests seeking more from their travels.
“La Vie’s collective celebration of the successful launches of ADGE Hotel and Residences and 202 Elizabeth embodies the culmination of our strategic approach to boutique hotel management in Australia,” said Bond.
Bond added that modern travellers are discerning, and have sought more than just a bed to stay for the night.
“They desire hotels that exude personality, intriguing aesthetics, and an unmistakable touch of individuality, and we are proud to have played our part in guiding the trajectory of the boutique hotels we manage.”
Further announcements of property development is expected by the company in the foreseeable future.
Citing industry trends and guest preferences, studies have validated that guests willingly allocate up to 30 percent more budget for a stay at a lifestyle hotel compared to a conventional counterpart. This has underscored the appeal of boutique and lifestyle hotels, where personalisation coupled with a unique experience has driven occupancy rates.
“We are seeing an increased appetite in the market for hotels that deliver something different, with owners coming to us wanting to create something a little out of the ordinary and a hotel experience that will resonate with the modern-day traveller that has a connection to the city they’re visiting. We’re excited by a number of opportunities we have coming up – here in Australia and throughout Asia, particularly in well-known resort locations, and will be making further announcements shortly”.
Looking ahead, Bond said that the group remains steadfast in its commitment to staying ahead of emerging trends, incorporating social engagement and a connection to the neighbourhoods its hotels are located.
