Accor has secured a landmark management deal, signing a trio of hotels with Bayview International Hotels and Resorts.
From May 2025, Accor will assume management of The Sydney Boulevard Hotel in East Sydney, Bayview Geographe Resort in Busselton Western Australia, and Wairakei Resort Taupo in the North Island of New Zealand.
“This is an exciting milestone for Accor as we continue to expand our presence in the Pacific,” said Accor Chief Operating Officer in the Pacific, Adrian Williams.
“These three properties are well-loved by locals and visitors alike, and we are thrilled to bring them into the Accor family.
“Our vision is to elevate their guest experiences through our powerful brands, ALL loyalty program, and world-class service offering.”
All three properties will continue to operate under their current names while extensive refurbishments take place, before being relaunched under Accor brands.
“With a comprehensive refurbishment plan in place, we can’t wait to unveil their refreshed identities and welcome even more travellers to these remarkable locations,” Williams added.
Recognised as one of Sydney’s most iconic hotels, The Sydney Boulevard Hotel features 277 guestrooms, including seven suites, 11 meeting spaces, a ballroom, a restaurant and café, and an exclusive top-floor meeting room with breathtaking views of the CBD and Sydney Harbour.
Bayview Geographe Resort, located three hours south of Perth in Busselton, features 137 rooms, a variety of villas, an indoor heated swimming pool, a tennis court, a golf putting green, and direct beach access.
Wairakei Resort Taupo, set in the geothermal wonderland of Wairakei, just north of Lake Taupo, includes 187 guestrooms, a nine-hole golf course, a geothermal swimming pool, a day spa, multiple dining venues, and extensive conference facilities.
“Accor is honoured to welcome Bayview International as a partner and we are grateful to be entrusted with the care of these three remarkable hotels,” said Accor’s Global Chief Development Officer for Premium, Midscale & Economy, Camil Yazbeck.
“This agreement reflects the shared values of our two companies, and our deep commitment to long-term success.
“Our approach is to stand side-by-side with our development partners – bringing an owners’ mindset, offering guidance and unwavering support throughout the unique lifecycle of every property.
“We look forward to working with Bayview International as we strengthen and shape the future of these hotels with exciting upgrades and the compelling guest experiences for which our exceptional hospitality brands are renowned.”
Founded in 1993, Bayview International Hotels and Resorts has built a strong legacy of memorable hospitality experiences.
Bayview International Hotel and Resorts Vice President Projects and Product Development, Derek Yan, said partnering with Accor represents an exciting new era for the company.
“We have a proud tradition of delivering fantastic hotel experiences, and this collaboration will allow us to elevate these three properties to new heights,” Yan said.
“With Accor’s global expertise and strong brand portfolio, we are confident that these hotels will thrive, offering even greater experiences for our valued guests. It reaffirms our commitment to growth and excellence in the region.”
