Accor is to take over the management of Rotorua’s century-old iconic hotel, Princes Gate Hotel, on 1 January 2008. The New Zealand’s Princes Gate boutique Hotel was built in 1897. Owners Brett and Vlasta Marvelly purchased the Hotel in 1986 and are extremely passionate about the property.
When they bought the hotel, they had one thing in mind: to make the Princes Gate Hotel not only New Zealand’s finest boutique hotel, but an attraction for locals and tourists alike.
Klaus Gottschalk, Accor’s Area General Manager for the Central North Island is based in Rotorua and is excited to have such a hotel joining the network.
“Princes Gate is a Rotorua icon and will be a great asset to Accor. Rotorua is one of New Zealand’s biggest tourist destinations and draws millions of domestic and international visitors every year. We are also lucky that the owners of the hotel have a great passion for maintaining the unique qualities that make this hotel so special.”
