Speaking exclusively to SpiceNews at the Australia New Zealand Pacific Hotel Investment Conference (ANZPHIC) in Sydney this morning (Jul 9), PPHG CEO Patrick Imbardelli said Crowne Plaza Darling Harbour and Crowne Plaza Parramatta would be re-branded to Parkroyal in November 2010, while Sheraton Perth would be re-branded Pan Pacific in January 2010.
