Accor, the largest operator of hotels and resorts in Australia, together with Rehawk Property Group, teamed up to build the new-build ibis Styles East Perth which spans 18 floors and adds 252 guest rooms to East Perth’s hotel supply – specifically geared towards the economy travel market.
“New, modern hotels such as the ibis Styles East Perth are an important part of Perth’s transformation, which has taken place over the past few years,” said Tourism Minister Papalia who congratulated Accor on the launch of ibis Styles East Perth and thanked the company for its ongoing commitment to Western Australia. “This hotel is in a great location for visitors, offering easy access to Langley Park with views of the stunning Swan River.”
Accor Pacific’s Chief Operating Officer, Simon McGrath, said, “We are very excited to join with Rehawk Property Group and the Minister to open the new ibis Styles East Perth, and lead the charge on a new generation of design-led economy hotels in Australia, in key locations.
“The past five years has seen the economy accommodation sector shift dramatically, both in terms of product and guest expectations. Quality, comfort, great aesthetics and genuinely warm service. These are all at the top of the wish list for budget-conscious travellers, and what ibis Styles East Perth delivers – at an affordable price.
