IHG Hotels & Resorts is proud to announce the landmark signing of its first voco hotel in the Northern Territory, partnering with JH Group to open voco Darwin Suites late this year.
Located at 87 Mitchell Street in the heart of Darwin’s Central Business District, the stunning 87-key upscale property will be conveniently located close to Darwin Entertainment Centre and within walking distance of a plethora of attractions including the iconic Crocosaurus Cove.
voco Darwin Suites will be converted from a repurposed commercial office building and feature an elevated hospitality proposition including an all-day dining restaurant, meeting space, fitness centre and outdoor pool. All guest rooms will feature self-contained kitchenettes designed to cater to both short-term and extended-stay visitors.
Positioned to stand out from the crowd, voco hotels is IHG’s fastest growing premium brand that is consistently thoughtful and distinct – which voco Darwin Suites will provide to guests from the moment they walk through its doors.
Guests will receive the brand’s signature ‘come on in’ warm welcome of a swift and simple check-in, and a locally inspired treat to mark the start of what’s bound to be a memorable stay. A dedicated voco host will ensure every guest makes the most of their visit, and there will be plenty of opportunity for voco hotels’ signature “me time” thanks to the supremely comfortable guest rooms that will entice them to unwind and relax.
Cameron Burke, Director of Development, Australasia & Pacific, IHG Hotels & Resorts said: “We’re thrilled to welcome John Halikos and the JH Group to our IHG community, as together we bring the voco hotels brand to Darwin in a landmark agreement that marks a significant milestone in our regional growth strategy.
“The rapid expansion of our voco brand through voco Darwin Suites and many other outstanding properties continues to be driven by its adaptable upscale proposition, appealing to owners seeking both asset versatility and flexibility in market.
“By leveraging IHG’s extensive distribution channels, including our IHG One Rewards loyalty programme, we are wholly focused on optimising performance for the benefit of our owners. This powerful combination made voco an ideal choice for JH Group and we’re looking forward to supporting its ambition to create a distinctive lean-lifestyle presence in the Darwin market.”
