Australia: Crown Group and Veriu are both opening projects on Sydney’s Green Square, adding a total of 234 keys to the area’s inventory.
Crown Group is set to open SKYE Suites Green Square, with interiors by TV celebrity interior designer Juliet Ashworth, of CHADA.
The property features 90 studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments and forms part of the $575 million Infinity by Crown Group development on the corner of Bourke Street and Botany Road. It comprises 326 luxury residential apartments, set above a 1180 square metre central landscaped plaza.
The 20-storey building was designed by Koichi Takada Architects and forms a gateway to Sydney’s Green Square precinct, which is undergoing a $13 billion transformation that will also soon add a new metro station at nearby Waterloo and an aquatic centre and public park.
Crown Group general manager of hotels, Benjamin Nesbitt, said: “The new hotel at Green Square is an exciting venue that will display all the characteristics SKYE Suites is renowned for – each is situated in a jaw-dropping new building with iconic architectural design and each has sophisticated interiors and delivers bespoke service with attention to detail from our excellent teams. There is also a sense of being immersed in a place that offers a luxurious escape from city life yet is on the doorstep to an exciting precinct packed with dining offerings and convenient transport options. Here at Green Square guests will have an exciting eat street packed with restaurants and cafes at ground level.”
Meanwhile Veriu has opened a “micro-apartment hotel”, its fifth property in Australia.
CEO Zed Sanjana said: “Veriu Green Square offers spaces that surpass the traditional hotel room in terms of flexibility and making it the perfect accommodation option for our core target, the short and long stay corporate traveller. Green Square is a fast-emerging precinct, where we know this hotel will satisfy the growing demand of corporate and leisure travellers searching for boutique, design-driven, flexible accommodation in a location not currently well supplied in terms of hotels and serviced apartments.”
Designed by architect Ashkan Mostaghim, the 144-key property features a lobby lounge bar, on-site gym, conference room and dedicated workspaces for business travellers.
Veriu Green Square also includes an on-site Italian restaurant with a menu designed by chef James Metcalfe of JRM Hospitality.
