Sharp design for suburban Quest

The newly built Quest Burwood East Apartment Hotel welcomes guests to a modern suburban gem.

Launched as part of Quest Apartment Hotels’ Australian growth strategy, it is one of several new apartment hotels located in regional and suburban hubs.

[pro_ad_display_adzone id=”44555″ align=”left” padding=”10″]This new premium serviced apartment hotel was developed in partnership with OAM Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Oriental Group of Companies and K2LD Architects. The 91-room property features modern and self-contained studios, one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

Located within a five-minute drive of The Glen, Forest Hill and Burwood One shopping centres, it is close to local business parks and Deakin University Burwood campus.

Quest Apartment Hotels general manager, James Shields, said the changing demands of business travellers and economic development in Melbourne’s suburbs has shaped the network’s Victorian expansion.

Located in the eastern suburbs in an area that attracts corporate activity from Melbourne’s CBD, Quest Burwood East is designed to service local residents, business travellers and sporting groups attracted to this ever-growing neighbourhood.

Built on an historic site which was ear-marked for re-development, the property looks fantastic, designed with flair and delivered with attention to detail blending perfectly with the locale.

Quest Burwood East features complimentary high-speed unlimited wifi, smart TVs with in-room entertainment and 24-hour on-site management.

Additional services include dining and breakfast options, local restaurant chargebacks, on-site carparking, daily housekeeping and pantry shopping service. The hotel also includes onsite parking, a business lounge, conference facilities and a large gymnasium.

Guests love the well-appointed apartments and feedback has been incredible. The spacious modern rooms are a fresh take on a standard hotel room, and they offer plenty of space to relax in an environment that has been designed to be clean, calm and very comfortable.

Warm colours, wood veneer, grey tones, textures and quality furnishings have been cleverly used to create a very inviting space; interiors that are a true home away from home.

Franchisee Kris Marinakis

Kris Marinakis is the franchisee at Quest Burwood East, making him one of several multi-unit franchisees in the network. He has been the director of the Quest Apartment Hotel in Mont Albert since 2012 and is actively involved in the Whitehorse community.

In his role at Quest, Kris puts a “core focus on developing his team and creating a culture of passion, energy, and commitment to constant improvement.”

He believes that “great results are simply the bi-product of giving your full commitment into doing what you love”.

He said: “After the success we enjoyed at Quest Mont Albert, thanks in large part to Quest’s business franchise model and development in the local area, purchasing a second franchise was the next logical step.”

According to Kris, everything about the property feels very generous. “The apartments are incredibly spacious, as is the large open layout of the conference rooms, the ample parking, and the fantastic public areas.

“The property has the premium feel of what we expect from a Quest Apartment Hotel yet is still so unique and feels as though it has its own personality.”

Since its opening, the hotel has been very popular and has exceeded guest expectations. He told us: “I feel the most important thing before opening to guests is to build a team of superstars.

“I knew when the journey commenced that the property itself would be fantastic. What I believe makes us unique is the wonderful team members that make every guest stay special.”

Product spotlight: Interiors shine with Q Flow design

Long-time industry FF&E service provider Q Flow provided a full turnkey solution for the newest Victorian Quest apartment hotel.

Q Flow project manager Gary Bass told us: “We worked closely with the project team at Quest to deliver their vision, from design concept through to manufacturing, shipping and installation.

“We partnered with the interior design team at Zunica to provide bespoke design solutions that are site specific and guest focused. The design scheme created was then brought to life by our skilled team of furniture makers and craftsman.

“We translate the 3D visualisations into quality prototype furniture items for client approval. Once all the necessary refinements are made, we commence the custom manufacturing process.

“The final outcome employed the use of premium fabrics and timber finishes in a range of natural tones and textures. We used shades of blues and greys with accents of black and brass detailing to create a clean, crisp and super-comfortable urban look.

“Quest is very happy with the finished look, achieved with furnishings and fittings that have been beautifully crafted and engineered to last.”
