Minor Hotel signs Avani Hotel in Australia

Thailand’s Minor Hotel Group has signed a deal to expand the Avani Hotel brand to Australia.

When completed in late 2017, the A$150 million development known as The Beach Apartments Broadbeach on Queensland’s Gold Coast, will become the Avani Broadbeach Residences.

The project is being developed by Anthony Moreton Group and Pryde Group, and is currently under construction with builder Brookfield Multiplex.

Scheduled to open in 2017 in advance of the XXI Commonwealth Games to be held on the Gold Coast in 2018, the 219-key Avani Broadbeach Residences will be located in the heart of one of the Gold Coast’s premier beach destinations. Avani Broadbeach Residences will be well placed for guests to take advantage of Broadbeach’s most popular lifestyle and entertainment precincts, including the world-class Pacific Fair Shopping Centre, which is set to become Queensland’s largest, the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre, and the iconic Jupiters Casino.

Avani Broadbeach Residences will also be conveniently located a short stroll from Broadbeach’s walking tracks and lush parklands, as well as the Gold Coast Light Rail tram network, connecting guests with the city’s key activity hubs, such as Surfers Paradise and Southport.

Dillip Rajakarier, CEO Minor Hotel Group, said, “We are very excited to announce the expansion of our upscale Avani brand in Queensland and also to enter into this partnership with the highly respected Anthony Moreton Group and Pryde Group. Avani Broadbeach will be located in one of the Gold Coast’s most sought after tourist locations and the development is the perfect fit for Avani, showcasing contemporary style and design which perfectly complements the ethos of the brand.”

Launched by MHG in 2011, Avani Hotels & Resorts currently has a portfolio of 13 properties across 10 countries. The company has plans to rapidly grow the brand across Asia, India and the Indian Ocean and Middle East.
