10 Nov 09 (TravMedia.com): Rendezvous Hospitality Group (RHG) will launch The Marque Hotel brand in New Zealand with the re-branding of the planned Rendezvous Christchurch, which will now be The Marque Hotel Christchurch, due to open early in 2010.
RHG, which already operates The Marque Hotels in four Australian cities; Brisbane, Canberra, Perth and Sydney, has decided that the Christchurch property provides the perfect opportunity to introduce The Marque Hotel brand as a contemporary and stylish hotel concept to the New Zealand accommodation market.
Iqbal Jumabhoy, CEO of RHG said: “As we already have a well established and very large RHG hotel in New Zealand with the Rendezvous Hotel Auckland, we have decided to launch The Marque Hotel brand in the Christchurch market.
“Due to the company’s recent new corporate direction and growth plans, we have redefined both the Rendezvous and The Marque Hotel brands. From this we have decided that the Christchurch property is better suited to our reinvigorated The Marque Hotel brand,” said Mr Jumabhoy.
“The Marque Hotel brand encompasses RHG’s smaller, contemporary, youthful and stylish hotels, where guests receive hassle-free service and value for money. Rendezvous hotels however are larger, with a full range of services and targeted to the more upscale traveller.
“The contemporary style of this environmentally friendly 171 room hotel fits perfectly with The Marque Hotel brand and will appeal to the demographic and business orientated clientele visiting Christchurch,” concluded Mr. Jumabhoy .
The Marque Hotel Christchurch will be the flagship hotel for The Marque brand in New Zealand and will maintain the 4.5 star quality and service positioning as originally planned.
The Marque Hotel Christchurch will be the tallest building in the South Island, as well as having a significantly low carbon footprint.
The Hotel will incorporate a number of innovative features to make it uniquely environmentally friendly, including an energy generating wind turbine designed to allow for a variety of energy generating devices to be installed.
The Marque Hotel Christchurch’s 171 rooms and suites will feature contemporary finishes including polished stone vanities, high ceilings, 32″ LCD flat screen TVs, in-room safes, high-speed broadband access and air-conditioning.
Other hotel facilities and features will include secure undercover parking, 24 hour reception, tour desk, gym and sauna, 24 hour room service, and a stylish restaurant and bar. The hotel is a departure point on the famous Scenic Tram.
The Hotel is centrally positioned close to the famous Cathedral Square and the Central Business District, and is an easy walk to many of Christchurch’s major attractions including the Avon River, Botanical Gardens, Arts Centre, Museum and Art Gallery, as well as an array of restaurants and shops.
