Australia: Veriu Collingwood, the second Victorian property from aparthotel operator The Veriu Group has opened for business.
Located in the Collingwood Arts Precinct in Melbourne’s inner-city, the property was developed in partnership with developer GURNER as part of its Atelier Residences project. It brings the total number of hotels in the group’s portfolio to 20.
The 95-key apartment hotel features a mix of Veriu Suites, ranging from Standard, Superior and Executive to Dual Key – all of them equipped with kitchen facilities, in-room laundry facilities, balconies (in most) and fast internet. Amenities include a rooftop pool and bar with views across the city, conference and meeting facilities, secure parking, in-house restaurant, and gym.
Veriu Collingwood is situated a few kilometres north-east of Melbourne’s CBD, in close proximity to the city’s commercial, retail, and corporate centres as well as Royal Melbourne Hospital, AAMI Park, Melbourne Polytechnic, University of Melbourne and Collingwood Yards.
The hotel’s interiors were designed by award-winning international architectural and interior design practice, Warren and Mahoney as part of GURNER’s Atelier Residences project.
Gurner Group founder and CEO Tim Gurner says the partnership with Veriu to operate the hotel was a natural alignment given the group’s affinity for Collingwood and the local area.
More announcements about the opening of new Veriu and Punthill apartment hotels at various sites are expected from the Veriu Group in the coming months.
