SilverNeedle Hospitality has opened two new hotels in the North Queensland city of Townsville.
The Country Comfort City Oasis and Chifley Plaza Townsville will join the existing SilverNeedle-owned Australis Mariners North Townsville in the city.
Jonathan Wooller, SilverNeedle’s Vice President of Operations, said the hotels were part of the company’s strategy to tap into the demand for accommodation in key mining regions.
“Much of our network growth in the last 12 months has been in North Queensland and the opening of Chifley Plaza and Country Comfort hotels in Townsville will be a welcome addition, especially when it comes to meeting the demand from our key corporate and government clientele,” Wooller said.
“Having three key brands in Townsville will be a catalyst for growth in other important mining hubs in Northern Australia such as Cairns, Bundaberg, Rockhampton and Brisbane, and will allow us to gain further traction and market share,” he added.
The Country Comfort City Oasis Townsville is a four-star city centre resort property featuring a lagoon-style pool and spa, while the four-star Chifley Plaza Townsville will offer major conferencing facilities.
