APH Gets OK for Perth Hotel – Ready by November
Singaporean company Australia Pacific Hotels has been given approval by the City of Perth to build a five-storey, 56-room inner-city hotel in the WA capital.
The Quincy Boutique Hotel will be built on a car park owned by APH, located directly behind the 3½-star Ambassador Hotel that APH bought for $12.8 million in March 2006. A number of APH hotels carry the Quincy moniker throughout Asia.
APH hopes to construct the hotel in just seven months using a modular method of construction with pre-fabricated modules inserted into a steel-framed structure. The exterior will be constructed with aluminium composite panels. APH hopes for a planned completion date of November 2012.
The Quincy Boutique Hotel will be managed by Jeremy Cotterill who is also general manager of APH’s Goodearth and Ambassador hotels in Perth.
Mr Cotterill said the proposed timeline was not ambitious: “By October-November we want it finished.”
Perth’s Lord Mayor Lisa Scaffidi said the Quincy hotel would help to meet the demand for accommodation in the capital city which has the highest hotel occupancy levels of anywhere in the world.
“The City of Perth has negotiated with the developer, Australia Pacific Hotels, to ensure the building is aesthetically consistent with the city’s development standards,” Ms Scaffidi said.
