MHG to open two new Avani hotels in Australia

Thailand’s Minor Hotels Group has expanded its portfolio of Avani Hotels & Resorts with two new properties in Australia. The Avani Adelaide Residences is scheduled to open in October 2019 while the Avani Melbourne Box Hill Residences is expected to open in Q4 2019.

The Avani Adelaide Residences, a first for the brand in South Australia, comprises 76 studios and suites, each with fully-equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. The Avani Adelaide Residences also includes a heated pool, cinema, library, AvaniFit gym with steam room and sauna, and a state-of-the-art golf simulator. The property is a stone’s throw away from Rundle Mall, Adelaide Central Markets, the Art Gallery of South Australia and the South Australia Museum.

The Avani Melbourne Box Hill Residences enjoys a prime position in the popular commercial and academic hub of Box Hill – fast emerging as Melbourne’s second CBD. With a mix of 75 one and two-bedroom suites with chef-style kitchens, the hotel facilities also extend to a heated infinity pool, on-site sauna, and rooftop amenities with views of the Dandenong Ranges.

“We are delighted to see the continuing growth of the Avani brand in Australia and New Zealand with these new openings, which follow from our initial openings on the Gold Coast, and in Melbourne and Auckland,” said Chief Operating Officer of Minor Hotels & Resorts Australia and New Zealand Craig Hooley. “Travellers the world over have responded to this fresh modern brand with our upbeat service culture that is rooted in traditional Thai hospitality. We will continue to identify key locations to grow this exciting brand and bring a new level of service to the Australian and New Zealand landscape.”

Avani currently operates 27 hotels and resorts in 19 countries and has 15 new hotels in the pipeline.
