Lifestyle hospitality company Ennismore has continued its expansion across New Zealand with the signing of four new hotels in the country, in partnership with CP Group, one of the largest hotel owners and developers in New Zealand.
The new hotels are expected to open across 2023-24 and include JO&JOE in Auckland, two TRIBE hotels in Auckland, and a Hyde in Queenstown.
The properties will join Ennismore’s growing portfolio in the Pacific region, which already includes TRIBE Perth and SO/ Auckland, as well as SO/ Melbourne, Mondrian Gold Coast and 25hours Sydney, which is expected to open between 2023-25.
Ennismore co-chief executive officer Gaurav Bhushan said this was a major milestone the hospitality group’s journey to bring its globally recognised lifestyle brands to key cities in New Zealand.
“We want to be the leading lifestyle hotel player in the Pacific region and we see it as an opportunity to bring our fresh and exciting brands, which are rooted in culture and purpose, to visiting guests and neighbourhood locals,” Bhushan said.
“Globally, the lifestyle segment is bouncing back from the impacts of the pandemic quicker than traditional hotels, driven mostly by strong F&B demand, and this is generating robust interest and has a strong growth trajectory as we strengthen our position in this segment, with concepts that integrate the notion of entertainment and feature restaurants and bars.
“We are excited to be introducing our lifestyle brands into New Zealand, and the combined expertise of Ennismore, Accor and CP Group will deliver unforgettable experiences.”
