Enjoy a Stopover in Ipswich – Queensland’s Best Kept Secret - Metro Hotels

With summer just months away, thousands of NSW residents are planning to enjoy a truly Australian summer holiday on the iconic beaches of the Queensland coast.

Yet when planning their trip, only a few regular travellers along this route are likely to know to stop off in what is Queensland’s best kept secret – the provincial city of Ipswich.

Located just 30 minutes from Brisbane, Ipswich is Queensland’s oldest provincial city and the perfect place to break your journey.

This wonderfully historic city offers visitors plenty to see and do, be it exploring some of the country’s finest examples of domestic architecture with houses dating back to the 1800s, wandering through the award-winning Workshops Rail Museum (the birthplace of Queensland Rail), visiting the Ipswich Art Gallery, and visiting more than 500 parks, wineries, cafes and restaurants.

Ipswich is also known for its local art and craft cottage industries, with art galleries, markets and craft and antique stores centrally located as well as being scattered in the many beautiful townships that dot the surrounding countryside.

And when in Ipswich, Metro Hotel Ipswich International is the perfect place to stay. Rated four and half stars, the Metro Hotel Ipswich International is boutique in size but equipped with all the facilities of a much larger hotel.

This seven-storey hotel is overlooks pristine parklands, offering 97 rooms including nine one-bedroom Serviced Apartments, two Executive Spa Suites and 68 Superior Rooms and 16 Deluxe Rooms.

Metro Hotel Sydney Central Completes Major Refurbishment - Metro Hotels

Metro Hotel Sydney Central, the Group’s flagship property in Pitt Street, Sydney, has just completed a major refurbishment designed to provide guests with a superior standard of rooms and facilities.

The refurbishment of four floors of rooms is now complete, and from this month, Metro Hotel Sydney Central will only offer Superior and Deluxe rooms, with standard rooms completely phased out.  The entire hotel is now 100% smoke free.

“The rationalisation of room categories will make it much easier for our clients to make a booking and get the quality of room they are looking for,” Ms Calabretta said. “Prior to the refurbishment we had too many room categories and it was a little confusing for our guests.”

The rooftop pool area and restaurant terrace are now finished, providing guests with a more welcoming and enjoyable venue in which to relax. Improvements to the area included a pool upgrade, re-tiling of the area, new and improved lighting and the addition of modern pool furniture.

The guest lifts have been upgraded, with the third and final lift to be completed by mid September.
According to Ms Calabretta, the refurbishments are already proving to be a success. “The new pool deck looks great and, not only will it be an excellent and attractive facility for our guests to use, we have received a number of enquiries from organisations who want to hire the area for an evening cocktail function by the pool.”

Metro Hotel Sydney Central is situated in the heart of Sydney’s entertainment district, directly opposite the Capitol Theatre.  The hotel is a popular accommodation choice for interstate and intra-state visitors in Sydney to watch one of the many international productions staged at both the Capitol and State theatres each year.

“The recent production of Mary Poppins brought us a lot of business, and we are expecting a similar flow-on effect when The Addams Family is staged in March 2013 and when The Lion King returns in December 2013,” Sandra said.

The hotel is just a short walk to Chinatown, Paddy’s Market, Cockle Bay, Queen Victoria Building and King Street Wharf. A car is not necessary when staying at Metro Hotel Sydney Central, because, as the name implies, the hotel is so central you can get around car-free with ease. Discounted light rail and monorail passes are available from the hotel’s reception. Central railway station is just a 500 metre walk, and the light rail and numerous bus routes provide lots of opportunities to explore wider Sydney.

Metro Hotels showcase their properties at Qantas Corporate Travel Show

Richard Amour - Metro Hotels Sales Manager

 For the second year running, Metro Hotels have showcased their accommodation properties at the Qantas Corporate Travel shows held in Perth, Brisbane and Canberra.

The 2012 Canberra Qantas Corporate Travel Show attracted 829 invited guests consisting of 129 Corporate Travel Agents, 291 Corporate Travel Coordinators and 409 key Qantas Frequent Flyers clients. The popularity of the show meant Canberra easily retained the mantle as the most attended of the four Qantas Corporate Travel Shows in 2012.

“The corporate and government sectors are a very important source of business for Metro Hotels,” explained Mr Richard Amour, Metro Hotels Sales Manager. “In particular, our Perth, Brisbane and Gladstone properties receive a great deal of corporate business due to the continued buoyancy of the resources industry.” He said.

After trialling the shows in 2011 Metro Hotels were very eager to attend again in 2012 as they saw the trade show as a great way to make new contacts and create greater exposure of the brand and the individual properties to those people who actually make the bookings on behalf of the guest.

“It also makes a great deal of sense that we are involved in the Qantas Corporate Travel Show as all our Metro Hotels and properties are part of the Qantas Frequent Flyer program and therefore all our guests can earn Qantas Frequent Flyer Points when they stay at any of our 14 properties throughout Australia.” Explained Mr Amour
