Accor Break Ground on Peppers Gladstone

Construction has commenced on Peppers Gladstone, Central Queensland’s first five-star hotel.

The hotel marks a significant milestone for Accor as it merges the prestigious 32-room Peppers Gladstone with the 60-room Mantra Gladstone under one roof in a vertical, dual-branded hotel concept. Peppers Gladstone is the first new hotel construction in the region in over a decade.

“Peppers Gladstone, in conjunction with Mantra Gladstone, will offer two levels of accommodation under one roof, meaning there will be two fantastic options for visitors to enjoy our wonderful city,” said Will Schroeder, Yaralla Sports Club CEO.

The new hotel promises an unparalleled level of luxury and comfort and is expected to open its doors in mid-2024. Located on Queensland’s Capricorn Coast, the hotel is conveniently located for guests visiting the Great Barrier Reef. 

Accor Pacific CEO, Sarah Derry, believes the hotel will offer an elevated guest experience, with extra space and comfort, perfect for an extended stay. 

Designed by BSPN Architects and constructed by Mettle Projects, Peppers Gladstone will cater to a range of travellers. The hotel’s guestrooms will be carefully curated to capture the essence of the surrounding landscape. 

Guests will be able to choose from a range of rooms, from King Studio Rooms to Superior Two Bedroom Apartments. All guestrooms will feature a fully equipped kitchen, king-sized beds, and a complimentary non-alcoholic mini-bar.

 Guests will also have access to the hotel’s heated outdoor swimming pool, complimentary drinks at the pool deck bar (during select hours), and exclusive access to Peppers’ eight-seater cinema room. A members lounge will offer a welcoming space to relax and guests have the choice of two onsite restaurants for meals.

Conveniently situated just minutes away from the CBD, Peppers Gladstone boasts an advantageous location alongside the Yaralla Sports Club.

Peppers Gladstone will join a network of more than 20 Peppers retreats, resorts, and CBD hotels across Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia. Since acquiring Peppers in 2018, Accor has continued to grow the brand with four additional Peppers hotels opening across Australia in the past five years.
