(Hong Kong, 21 December, 2009) - Two of Australia’s most famous casino hotels, Star City Hotel & Apartments in Sydney and Jupiters Townsville in northern Queensland, have joined WORLDHOTELS.
New Deluxe Collection affiliate the luxurious Star City, on Sydney Harbour, is the only casino in New South Wales, incorporating a 480-room hotel, 2,000-seat theatre, eleven restaurants and bars ranging from authentic Australian cuisine to Cantonese delicacies and the hotel’s famously sumptuous fresh buffet.
The giant complex, about the size of seven football fields, is a key part of the city’s vibrant Darling Harbour precinct. It incorporates luxury 5-star serviced apartments of varying sizes, ideal for business or leisure, short or long stays. The apartments feature balconies with spectacular harbour views, separate dining and living areas, kitchen and full laundry facilities — plus in room media centres with broadband internet links.
At the same time, Jupiters Townsville Hotel & Casino on the Townsville Waterfront joins WORLDHOTELS in the First Class Collection and is situated between Cairns and Brisbane. It features 194 luxury rooms overlooking the Coral Sea to Magnetic Island, the marina, Central Business District and Strand Beach.
Facilities and amenities include a business centre, spa, sauna, pool, gym and massage, beauty centre and a 24 hour reception with concierge and valet parking services.
Jupiters Townsville’s award-winning meeting and convention team are well equipped to arrange creative corporate and leisure events, and the hotel’s MICE facilities include a theatre seating up to 700 and banqueting for up to 800.
With seven food and beverage outlets including a tempting buffet at Aqua, contemporary cuisine at Essence and casual dining at Spin, it is a “prime lifestyle choice in tropical northern Queensland”, said Mr. Roland Jegge, Vice President for WORLDHOTELS Asia Pacific.
Both casino-hotels are operated by Tabcorp, Australia’s premier gaming and entertainment group, which operates a uniquely diverse combination of wagering, gaming, hospitality and media activities across Australia.
Tabcorp Casinos Chief Executive, Larry Mullin, said: “We are delighted that Star City and Jupiters Townsville are teaming up with WORLDHOTELS. This is going to be an exciting partnership that attracts more business and leisure travellers to our properties.”
Mr. Jegge added: “Star City and Jupiters Townsville are exciting new additions to our Australia portfolio, ideally suited not only for business and leisure travelers, but also the MICE market for conferences in Sydney and Northern Queensland.”
