“We are
delighted to be partnering with Accor on this exciting
development,” said Johnson Zhang, CEO of APH Holding – the
property’s owner. “Novotel Melbourne Box Hill will be a flagship for the
area, and we are confident that it will become a popular
destination for both locals and visitors to Melbourne. The hotel
will have access to public transport and retail amenities and will
be an appropriate asset for Melbourne’s much needed second CBD
which should promote, leisure and business.”
Box Hill is an outer suburb of Metropolitan
Melbourne, located approximately 14km east of the CBD.
Following a
recent construction boom in Box Hill, it has been dubbed
“Melbourne’s second city” as it is home to multiple high-rise
buildings, including the tallest building in Melbourne outside the
CBD.
The City of Whitehorse, of
which Box Hill is the major economic hub, is home to nearly
180,000 people and had a Gross Regional Product of $1.5 billion in
2019.
“The signing of Novotel Melbourne Box Hill is a
significant milestone for Accor as we continue to expand our
presence in Victoria,” said Sarah Derry, Accor Pacific Chief
Executive Officer. “Box Hill is a vibrant and growing suburb,
and we are excited to offer both business and leisure travellers a
stylish and contemporary accommodation option in this dynamic
community.”
With more than 40 hotels in key metropolitan and
leisure destinations, Novotel has one of the largest hotel brand
footprints across Australia and New Zealand.
