Paul Pratt has joined Trilogy Hotels as its incoming Director of Finance and Development, following an extensive career.
Trilogy Hotels said it was pleased to announce the appointment of Paul Pratt as Director of Finance and Development, a move that reinforces the independent operator’s commitment to optimising financial and operational outcomes across its portfolio.
Pratt joins Trilogy Hotels with more than two decades of senior leadership experience across finance and operations, including key Regional and Vice President finance roles with Accor in both Australia and Asia, as well as prior senior positions with TFE Hotels. Over this time, he has led large multi-country portfolios, partnered closely with owners, and delivered strong financial and operational performance.
In his new role, Pratt will be responsible for driving Trilogy Hotels’ portfolio performance, enhancing financial analysis and feasibility, and contributing to new management opportunities.
“Great people are at the heart of Trilogy’s success and at the centre of everything we do. Paul not only brings outstanding capability and experience but also a deep alignment with our values – collaboration, integrity and performance,” said Trilogy Hotels’ Chief Executive Officer Scott Boyes.
“His leadership will further enhance our ability to deliver value for owners, exceptional experiences for guests, and meaningful careers for our teams.”
Recently, Trilogy Hotels announced it assumed management of the Ink Hotel Melbourne Southbank on 1 December 2025, rebranding the 162-room property as ibis Styles Melbourne Southbank under a franchise agreement with Accor. This marked Trilogy Hotels' first venture into the Melbourne market, amidst its rapid expansion across Australia. The hotel is owned by Nadathur Group (a Singapore privately owned company).
“The conversion to ibis Styles Melbourne Southbank under Trilogy management will deliver strong operational performance, great guest experiences and launch careers in the industry we love.”
The property features an on-site restaurant, coffee shop, bar, and 24-hour front desk services. Its prime location places guests at the heart of Melbourne's cultural and entertainment district, with Crown Melbourne directly opposite, and the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre just steps away for business guests. Cultural landmarks such as the National Gallery of Victoria, Arts Centre Melbourne, and the Royal Botanic Gardens are within walking distance.
