Best Western has signed two hotels in Tasmania formerly operated by Accor.
The properties, both of which previously operated under the Mercure brand, have been rebadged as the Best Western Hobart and Best Western Plus Launceston.
“We’re thrilled to welcome these two hotels in Hobart and Launceston to our growing hotel family,” said Rob Anderson, Best Western Australasia’s chief executive. “For the year ending March 2013, there were 931,100 visitors to Tasmania, up 10% from… the previous year. If these numbers are any indication, then people will need more quality hotel options to choose from when travelling around Tasmania.”
And Anderson revealed that both hotels will now undergo major refurbishments to bring them into line with Best Western standards.
“Both hotels already have modern amenities and facilities so we will look to mainly improve the current on-site restaurants and dining areas, update the conference facilities and ensure the most up to date Wi-Fi services and in-room services are available in both hotels,” said Anderson.
Located in the centre of Tasmania’s state capital, the Best Western Hobart features 140 rooms and a range of facilities including a restaurant, bar and eight meeting rooms. The Best Western Plus Launceston meanwhile, also has a central location and offers 116 rooms, a restaurant, bar and two conference rooms.
The addition of the two hotels takes the company’s total Tasmanian portfolio to seven hotels.
