Avani Hotels & Resorts has acquired the Metro Suites business in Auckland, New Zealand, which will be transformed through a major room refurbishment programme. Upon completion in October 2017, the property will be rebranded as Metropolis Avani Residences, offering a range of upscale accommodation options in the city’s CBD.
Located in Auckland on New Zealand’s North Island, the 370-key property was built in 1999 and occupies a prime CBD position in the country’s largest city.
Each of the Avani Auckland property’s one and two-bedroom apartments will be transformed as part of the revitalisation programme. Rooms will feature living and dining areas, kitchens and laundry facilities, and will offer views over the city skyline and harbour. Leisure facilities include a 22-metre heated swimming pool, indoor and outdoor spas, a sauna, a gymnasium, and a steam room.
Avani Hotels and Resorts is part of Thailand-based Minor Hotels Group, which already has a presence in New Zealand through its Oaks Hotels and Resorts brand where it currently operates two resorts in Queenstown. Avani Hotels and Resorts currently has a portfolio of 18 hotels and resorts in 12 countries across Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa and Europe.
