Australian tourism and hospitality group, Crystalbrook Collection, has announced the names of its first three properties. Meet Riley, Bailey and Flynn.
Crystalbrook Collection CEO, Mark Davie, explained that while all hotels would share the Crystalbrook Collection DNA, they would each have their own unique character and personality. “All of our hotels share an appreciation for modern luxury, they are environmentally conscious, locally immersed, curious and a little bit witty. However, we don’t want our hotels to be constrained by traditional hotel formulas whereby they end up ‘cookie-cutter’ – looking the same, feeling the same, sounding the same.”
“We like to compare Crystalbrook Collection to a family. Our hotels share the same parents but each has its own personality. There’s the playful one, the thoughtful arty one and the wild child. As Crystalbrook grows with new hotels, this positioning allows us to develop more unique hotel characters and really embrace different audiences as well as the individual hotel’s architecture, environment and neighbourhood,” he said.
