Disabled Access Proving popular at Metro Hotel Miranda - Metro Hotels

The introduction of disabled facilities into several of its new Superior rooms on the top floor of Metro Hotel Miranda is proving popular with disabled and senior guests.

Metro Hotel Miranda’s Superior rooms with disabled facilities are part of its recent addition of 14 new Superior rooms, all of which are fitted with oversized low windows to allow guests to fully appreciate the stunning views of Sydney and the Royal National Park offered.

The rooms are wheelchair accessible from all levels of the hotel and can be offered with an adjoining room for family or friends, giving guests the option of having a carer nearby yet with separate sleeping and bathroom facilities.


All disabled rooms are fitted with a queen and a single bed. The bathrooms are large enough for a wheelchair to manoeuve easily, with all fixtures wheelchair accessible. Bathrooms are fitted with a shower seat and grab rail, and all rooms are safe and secure with wide doorways and level, non-slip surfaces.

Metro Hotel Miranda is a non-smoking hotel and offers quality accommodation at affordable prices for all its guests. Disabled rooms are priced the same as equivalent Superior Queen rooms, with all rooms on the top floor of the Hotel having spectacular views over Sydney, Botany Bay and the Royal National Park.


Located at the highest point of Miranda and popular with business and leisure travellers alike, Metro Hotel Miranda added the 14 Superior rooms to its offering of 40 family and standard rooms earlier this year, converting the top floor of the hotel. Corner suites have kitchenettes and rooms are modern and tastefully decorated, providing a new level of outstanding comfort and quality without hefty prices.

Book Hotel Accommodation Early Or Miss Out - Metro Hotels

With the September school holidays just around the corner, the accommodation industry is urging Australian travellers to secure their bookings before everything is snapped up.

"Feedback from our 14 accommodation properties around Australia shows a large increase in bookings for the September school holiday period," Metro Hotels Chief Operating Office George Bedwani said.

Mr Bedwani said the bookings are not only increasing but people are tending to book further out to ensure they get the days and dates they want. According to Mr Bedwani the days of getting a good deal at the last minute are declining rapidly and people have to be a bit more organised and plan ahead.
"If customers leave it until the last minute then it most likely that they will miss out or at the very least, they will be paying a premium price for their stay," explained Mr Bedwani.

"Low-cost airlines and some really good deals offered by the hotels and resorts make it more affordable for families to take a break within Australia, and this helps boost the domestic tourism, at a time when the industry really needs the boost," Mr Bedwani said.

Looking ahead to other peak holiday periods later in the year, including the Christmas-New Year period, Mr Bedwani suggests that Australian travellers plan ahead and book soon to avoid disappointment.

Apartments in the Heart of Sydney Prove a Magnet for International Visitors

Australia is currently enjoying growth in travellers from the Asia Pacific region, with China likely to provide the greatest number of international visitors to Australian shores in future decades.

New Zealand still dominates inbound visitation to Australia with more than 1.1 million visitors in the 12 months to March 2012. However, with the number of visitors from China growing by 15% in the past year to 561,000 and with this expected to increase by a further 19% in 2012, Chinese visitors may soon become the dominant international guests visiting Australia’s sunny shores.

Regardless of whether they travel from the south or the north, many international tourists choose to stay at Metro Apartments Darling Harbour because of its excellent location in the heart of Sydney overlooking Darling Harbour.

Metro Apartments Darling Harbour is set in two buildings, the Sussex Street building offering larger, contemporary-styled apartments with views over Darling Harbour while the King Street building has a more exclusive, intimate appeal. The property is independently rated as three and a half stars and offers a selection of 40 one-bedroom apartments, complete with fully-equipped kitchen, washing machine, dryer and ironing facilities, air conditioning and heating.
                                                                              

The excellent location of the apartment buildings is proving to be the greatest attraction for guests, with a short stroll down Sussex Street taking them to Sydney’s famous Chinatown, where some of the city’s best chefs serve world class Asian cuisine.

An amble west and they arrive at King Street Wharf and Cockle Bay, popular precincts on the shores of Darling Harbour, where a multitude of bars and restaurants offer exotic cocktails and an exceptional selection of international cuisine. For entertainment, enjoy a 3D movie at IMAX or learn more about Australia’s unique wildlife at Sydney Aquarium and Wildlife World. A short walk across the footbridge takes you over Darling Harbour to The Star, where you can see a show or try your luck at the casino.

If you are looking for world-class shopping, walk east from your apartment and into Sydney’s retail heart, with the Queen Victoria Building, Westfield Sydney and flagship David Jones and Myer stores all a short stroll from your front door. For sightseeing, head north to The Rocks, a must to explore beneath the glory of the Harbour Bridge before venturing on to the Opera House and Botanic Gardens. This historic walk will reveal Sydney’s convict history and most beautiful places.

Metro Apartments Darling Harbour has a range of special packages on offer. Book Metro Apartments Darling Harbour and other Metro Hotels properties by calling the toll free Central Reservations line on 1800 004 321. Alternatively bookings can be made online at www.metrohotels.com.au.

Metro Hotel Perth Guest Review from Booking.com 9.6/10

Metro Hotel Perth Guest Review from Booking.com 9.6/10

Whilst we didnt really get to use the facilities, the reception staff were very good and it was terrific to have on site parking.

Room location overlooking the carpark and air conditioner was not really the best, but given the we just wanted an o/n stay so we could attend at function at the Royal Perth Golf Club - it ticked all the boxes for cleanliness, accessability, and a clean and comfortable bed!

We will book again and perhaps look at moving 'up in the world' to take in the lovely view of Perth and stay a couple of nights.
