431-Room Novotel Hotel in Perth to Soft Open on 19 December 2019

Accor will soft open a 431-room Novotel hotel in the heart of the Perth CBD on 19 December 2019.

The Novotel Murray St Perth is located at 388 Murray Street, right next to Shafto Lane and its popular eateries and bars.

Hotel facilities include a fitness centre, spa, pool, four bars and restaurants, four meeting rooms, and a conference room for up to 120 people banquet style.

Simon McGrath, Chief Operating Officer, Accor Pacific, said, “This will be our 13th hotel in Perth CBD and brings our total room count to over 2,400 rooms and suites. The Novotel brand has been completely revitalised and offers a modern, elegant and increasingly digital space for families, business travellers and leisure guests who can take time to unwind or make time to reconnect with friends, family or colleagues.”

This will be the second hotel for Fragrance Group and Accor in Australia, following the success of the Ibis Styles Hobart, which is the largest hotel in Tasmania.

Fragrance Group CEO, James Koh said, “We at Fragrance are equally excited to deliver Novotel Murray St Perth which will be a fresh addition to the already vibrant city and we look forward to providing bigger and better quality hotels across key cities in Australia for the ever increasing number of visitors to the country. Being strategically located in the heart of the CBD, we believe it will serve both business travellers and tourists alike.”

The project has been fast-tracked to take advantage of the Summer holiday period in Australia, with the first phase seeing 40 rooms open in December and a staged opening for the rest of the rooms and public spaces into next year.

Guests will be able to take advantage of the dining outlets at the nearby Art Series the Adnate Hotel whose Hyde Kitchen + Cocktails just opened to huge acclaim; Peppers Kings Square; Mantra on Murray; and ibis Perth’s Rubix Bar and Murray St Grill, all of which are just a short stroll away from the Novotel and are part of the Accor group.

The hotel is expected to be fully operational by Q1 2020.

“We are confident in the growth of international tourism in Perth and having the renowned global branding of Novotel and Accor’s worldwide distribution will help to bring new international visitors to Perth,” said Simon McGrath. “With new Qantas routes between Perth and London, new connections between Tokyo and test flights to Shanghai, the future is looking bright.”
