Novotel takes over in Newcastle
One of the world’s most recognised hotel brands has arrived in Newcastle with the re-branding of The Sebel Newcastle Beach to Novotel Newcastle Beach, following the acquisition by Accor of the Mirvac hotel portfolio.
Officially opened by general manager hotel integration for Accor Asia Pacific, Dino Mezzatesta, on 26 July, the unveiling of the first Novotel in Newcastle was met with support from tourism operators, local government ministers and the lord mayor of Newcastle, John Tate.
“The work Simon Glover and his team have done in building relations with the local community has been outstanding and we will continue to support and build upon these bonds under a Novotel banner,” Mr Mezzatesta said.
Simon Glover said the hotel will flourish under its new name. “We have the same staff and standard of service our regulars expect and enjoy. “We will also remain an important employer for local people. As part of the Accor network, we can now offer our staff access to increased national and international training and global employment opportunities.”
Located just meters from one of Australia’s most magnificent beaches and only 2-hour’s drive north of Sydney, the Novotel Newcastle Beach features 88 well-appointed guestrooms, some with ocean views, a fully equipped gymnasium, spa, steam room, and three meeting rooms.
Offering a relaxed atmosphere with the choice of either al fresco or indoor dining, Bistro Dalby has a modern Australian menu consisting of seasonal dishes featuring an abundance of local produce. The restaurant boasts a comprehensive wine list featuring the best the Hunter Valley has to offer.
