Asian Investors Snap Up Hotels - Metro Hotels News

Asian investors are continuing to dominate hotel buying in Sydney with metro Hotel Sydney Central selling last week for $39.5 million.

A Singapore-based trust purchased the hotel, which was formerly known as the Royal Gardens Hotel, beating off interest from a number of international and domestic parties.

The hotel sold after an expression of interest handled by Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels’ Mark Durran and Ross Beardsell.

The property’s former largest shareholder, the listed Transmetro Corporation, will continue to operate the hotel business for the new owner under its Metro Hotels brand. Transmetro had a stake of about 22 per cent in the property that sits on the corner of Pitt and Campbell Streets on an 848 square metre freehold site.

It features 220 guest rooms and suites together with a restaurant, bar and conference facilities for up to 200 guests. It is situated at the southern end of the Sydney CBD and is part of the city’s emerging southern precinct.

Metro Apartments on Bank Place, Melbourne defy tourism slump

Located in a unique 100-year old Victorian building complete with rough hewn bluestone façade, Metro Apartments on Bank Place in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD, sets a new benchmark for stylish yet affordable inner city accommodation.

According to George Bedwani, Chief Operating Officer of Metro Hospitality Group, this particular property continues to defy the economic climate, maintaining strong occupancy despite a downturn in leisure and corporate travel to Melbourne during the last financial year.

“The Apartments are very popular and enjoy significant repeat business, largely due to their central location, personalised service only a boutique hotel of this size can offer, and their competitive rates.

“Guests have the luxury of staying in a fully serviced studio or one bedroom boutique apartment in one of the city’s central and most exclusive locations, with rates starting from $125 per night for a studio room and $135 for a one bedroom apartment,” Mr Bedwani said.
