Ennismore to bring four new lifestyle hotels to NZ

Ennismore is continuing its rapid expansion across the Pacific region with the signing of four new hotels in New Zealand including a JO&JOE in Auckland, two TRIBE hotels in Auckland, and a Hyde in Queenstown, creating 170 new career opportunities.

In partnership with CP group, the hotels, which will open across 2023-24, will join the brands existing collection in the region including TRIBE Perth and SO/ Auckland, as well as SO/ Melbourne, Mondrian Gold Coast and 25hours Sydney set to open between 2023-25.

Ennismore’s co-CEO Gaurav Bhushan, said the new hotels were a major milestone in the brand’s journey to bring its globally recognised lifestyle brands to key cities in New Zealand. 

“We want to be the leading lifestyle hotel player in the Pacific region and we see it as an opportunity to bring our fresh and exciting brands, which are rooted in culture & purpose, to visiting guests and neighborhood locals,” Bhushan continued. 

“Globally, the lifestyle segment is bouncing back from the impacts of the pandemic quicker than traditional hotels, driven mostly by strong F&B demand.

“This is generating robust interest and has a strong growth trajectory as we strengthen our position in this segment, with concepts that integrate the notion of entertainment and feature restaurants and bars. Our lifestyle brands, with their unique and authentic F&B offering, make each a destination for both local communities and international travellers.

“We are excited to be introducing our lifestyle brands into New Zealand, and the combined expertise of Ennismore, Accor and CP Group will deliver unforgettable experiences.”
