Breast Cancer Awareness Month at Metro Hotel Perth - October
On average, 37 Australian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer today.
Metro Hotel Perth is collaborating with the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) to help spread the word regarding breast cancer awareness and continued support for breast cancer research.
For the month of October, Metro Hotel Perth has changed their building spotlight from blue to pink (see photos below) - to highlight the importance of vital research into prevention, detection and treatment of breast cancer.
Global Illumination campaign is a unique initiative involving thousands of individuals, families, schools and businesses across Australia to put the spotlight on breast cancer awareness by illuminating buildings, monuments and landmarks around the world in a blaze of pink light!
Breast cancer is the third leading cause of death in women in Australia*, and continued research for prevention strategies, early detection, and cures or treatments are paramount in saving and prolonging lives. *Australian Bureau of Statistics
As the years pass, researchers, scientists and doctors are getting closer and better at treating and possibly finding a cure for breast cancer. But it takes time, people, dedication and funds to continue this progress: this is where the National Breast Cancer Foundation needs our help - because fundraising saves lives.
Twenty years ago, 30% of women diagnosed with this disease lost their lives. Today, that rate has halved - due to research. Through continued fundraising support, we hope to see the death rate drop even more significantly, so that in the future, breast cancer no longer strikes fear in women and their loved ones.
Here's what you can do to help:
- To find out where your donations go when you give to the NBCF, here is their page: http://pinkribbonbreakfast.org.au/info/where-your-money-goes
- If you are interested in raising funds for the NBCF, information and support can be found here: http://www.nbcf.org.au/Support-Us/Raising-Money.aspx
- For tips, ideas and tools regarding creating your own fundraising event, see here: http://pinkribbonbreakfast.org.au/info/ideas-and-tools
- Can't give money but have the time? Why not volunteer at the NBCF: http://www.nbcf.org.au/Support-Us/Volunteer.aspx
- Don't have the time? You can still help by being part of the research to help beat breast cancer! It can be as little as filling in a form. See here for NBCF research projects that you can participate in (even if you are time-poor!) https://www.register4.org.au/index.php/About-us/about-us.html
So no matter where you are in Australia, you can be part of the community to bring awareness to this disease and together let's find a cure.
Are you in Perth and want to see the Metro Hotel Perth building lit up beautifully in pink? Here's where to find us: 61 Canning Hwy, South Perth WA 6151 Australia

Demand from Corporate Travellers Drives Metro’s Expansion in Gladstone
 |
| G60 Apartments Gladstone |
Metro Hotels has expanded and diversified its holdings in Gladstone, Queensland this year to meet the growing demand from corporate travellers for more choice and flexibility in apartment accommodation in Gladstone.
Gladstone is Queensland’s largest multi-commodity port, the fifth largest multi-commodity port in Australia and the world’s fourth largest coal exporting terminal. It is also home to an aluminium refinery and smelter, cement manufacturing, mines, explosives and chemical plant, three LNG plants, shale oil refinery and an oil recycling plant, all of which have fuelled demand for more flexible and affordable apartment accommodation in the city.
In the brand new 97-unit G60 development, Metro Hotels is managing 18 two-bedroom apartments and one three-bedroom apartment. Its existing Gladstone property, Metro Hotels & Apartments has 51 one-bedroom apartments.
According to Property Manager, David Robinson, approximately 90 percent of the property’s occupancy is corporate-based, flying in and out from Gladstone Airport, with the majority of large business and government workers staying for two to three days.
“We are broadening and diversifying our holdings in Gladstone to give more choice and more flexibility to our clients, at a more affordable price,” Mr Robinson said.
“It is difficult to find apartment accommodation in Gladstone for short stays. Our new offering suits the corporate sector as it offers a more affordable option for clients who can now share a two-bedroom apartment for both short and long term stays.
“Some of our regular corporate clients visit Gladstone for up to three or four months. It will be more cost-effective for them to share a two bedroom apartment with another corporate than to book into a one-bedroom apartment for that period.
Mr Robinson said his corporate clients comment on the convenience of self catering and the spacious rooms, as the reason they choose an apartment over other accommodation choices. Each apartment is equipped with a full-sized kitchen, washing machine, dryer, separate bedroom and full size balcony.
From late November through to January each year there is an increase in occupancy as the relocation of staff associated with government and large industry occurs.
Metro Hotel & Apartments Gladstone and nearby Apartments G60 are located in the heart of the Gladstone CBD, close to retail shops, restaurants and the entertainment precinct. Guests have access to all the facilities of Metro Hotel & Apartments Gladstone, including swimming pool and restaurant.

Sydney City Hotels Filling Fast For Australian Garden Show
Garden lovers from around Australia and overseas are expected to flock to Sydney in September when the city hosts the inaugural Australian Garden Show in Centennial Park from September 5-8, 2013.
A NSW Government event, The Australian Garden Show will be held in the Brazilan Fields West in Centennial Park, and is expected to quickly gain national and international credibility, attracting garden lovers from around the world.
Accommodation in the city is expected to be at a premium for the spring event, so garden enthusiasts are advised to book now to avoid disappointment.
Metro Hotel Sydney Central and Metro Hotel on Pitt are two properties located within walking distance of Centennial Park, with both hotels offering a range of affordable packages.
Metro Hotel Sydney Central is the Metro Hospitality Group’s flagship property on the corner of Pitt and Hay Streets in the heart of Sydney. The hotel recently completed a two year refurbishment that saw a complete upgrade of its rooms and facilities, and its location opposite the Capitol Theatre in the Entertainment Precinct makes it the perfect choice for garden enthusiasts wanting to be close to the Park so they can make the most of the day.
Also located on Pitt Street, Metro Hotel on Pitt is a stylish boutique hotel closer to the city centre and better suited for guests wanting to mix a visit to the Garden Show with some shopping and sightseeing in the heart of the city. A short bus trip will take you to the show.
The event has been designed as the ultimate garden showcase and will appeal not only to experienced gardeners, landscapers and designers but also novices and the many people who just like to admire the handiwork of other people’s green thumbs and creativity.
The Australian Garden Show Sydney will combine display gardens designed by leading landscape architects, workshops presented by gardening gurus and personalities, a potting tent for children, products to purchase and a high tea marquee which, come nightfall, transforms into a floral cocktail bar setting – complemented by the now established Centennial Park Light Garden.
The Australia Garden Show Sydney also coincides with Centennial Park’s 125th Anniversary, providing another reason to visit the show in its first year.Metro Hotel Sydney Central and Metro Hotel on Pitt are located less than five kilometres from Centennial Parklands, and can be reached by bus, train or on foot.
