SNEAK PEAK: Peppers Docklands Melbourne prototype room
Melbourne’s Docklands just announced completion of the prototype room for the waterfront’s first five-star hotel, Peppers Docklands Melbourne.
The prototype hotel room is the first glimpse of what future guests can expect at the innovative M Docklands project undertaken by Capital Alliance Investment Group, on track to open early 2016. The $140 million, 19-level development will feature:
- The five-star Peppers Docklands hotel operated by Australian accommodation provider, Mantra Group (ASX:MTR), under its luxury Peppers brand, offering 87 stylish hotel suites
- 186 residential apartments
- 11 retail shops
Mantra Group CEO Bob East said that Peppers Docklands will prove popular both with the domestic market and with Australia’s growing inbound tourism market:
“The Docklands is in need of a sophisticated hotel product to cater to an increasingly selective global market that is looking for quality, location and facilities of a world class calibre. Peppers Docklands has this, and will set a benchmark for future mixed-use developments in Australia.”
“We are excited that next year visitors will be able to stay in premium rooms like the one we launched today – boosting the local economy and enhancing the Docklands new-found charm.”
Managing Director and Founder of Capital Alliance, Mohan Du said the company were proud to be playing a significant role in the emergence of a revitalised Docklands:
“Docklands offers world class facilities and attractions with demand for hotels projected to increase significantly; this growing demand is behind the re-emerging trend from developers to incorporate hotels into their projects.”
“It made perfect sense for us to partner with a well-respected hotel operator like Mantra Group and lead the way in bringing luxury accommodation to the Docklands – keeping tourists in the area and driving the local economy.”
Peppers Docklands will be the first Peppers hotel to open in Melbourne for Mantra Group, joining 10 Mantra apartment hotels in Melbourne CBD and the airport.
