Accor to Rebrand Hotel in Queensland, Australia

Accor has signed a franchise agreement with Mandala Asset Solutions for their recently purchased Mackay Marina Hotel.

The eight-storey, 79-room hotel will rebrand as Mantra Mackay on 15 December 2019, becoming Accor’s second property in the central Queensland hub of Mackay, joining the group’s 152-room ibis Mackay hotel.

The hotel was constructed in 2005 and stands on a prime waterfront site offering views over the Coral Sea.

The property, only a short drive from Mackay’s city centre and 20 minutes from Mackay Airport, features a restaurant and bar, fitness centre, swimming pool, four conference and meetings rooms and a business centre.

Accor Chief Operating Officer Pacific, Simon McGrath, said, “Mantra Mackay is one of the best properties in Mackay and this acquisition speaks to our confidence in the city's future and the importance of securing well positioned product in market. We are excited to again partner with Mandala Asset Solutions on this property and believe it has great potential to service a number of markets."

Mantra Mackay is the second franchise agreement signed between Accor and Mandala Asset Solutions, joining Mercure Albury on the Victorian border.

Mandala Asset Solutions Principal, John Zeckendorf, said, “We are confident this well-appointed property will operate with great success under Accor and provide travellers with a quality accommodation and conferencing option in Mackay.”
