Rebrand brings Peppers brand to the Clare Valley
The Clare Country Club in the South Australian wine region of Clare Valley has rebranded to become Peppers Clare Valley.
Alongside its rebranding, a new restaurant has opened as part of the 65-room hotel.
The new culinary offering, Clara, will hero South Australian produce and be led by head chef Matthew Sanderson, who has experience at luxury Australian hotels including Orpheus Lodge and Lizard Island.
The restaurant and two function spaces at the hotel can be used exclusively for business events. The larger of the two meeting rooms can host 100 in theatre.
“Peppers Clare Valley is a wonderful addition to our collection of Peppers properties and perfectly captures what makes the brand so special: memorable destinations, authentic local experiences and warm hospitality,” said Accor Pacific’s chief operating officer, Adrian Williams.
“Together with Clara, it creates a place where guests can slow down, savour the region’s incredible food and wine, and experience the Clare Valley at its very best.”
Dunedin hotel joins Marriott International brand
Fable Dunedin on New Zealand’s South Island will join Marriott International’s Autograph Collection by the end of the year.
The hotel has 50 rooms and suites and four meeting spaces, with the largest, the Chancellor Room, able to host 104 in theatre or 80 for banquets.
This Marriott signing is the latest in a series with the same owner, CP Group, which brought three future properties to Marriott in September – conversions in Rotorua, Auckland and Wellington.
“We are excited to announce another collaboration with CP Group that will see the impressive Fable Dunedin join Autograph Collection,” said Marriott’s vice president of hotel development for Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific, Richard Crawford.
“Importantly, this latest signing expands Marriott International’s footprint in New Zealand to a new and high-demand destination, which we know will be welcomed by our 300 million global Marriott Bonvoy members.
“Within a few short years, we will have grown our presence in New Zealand from a single property in Auckland in 2022, to a network of ten expected hotels spanning Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Queenstown, Rotorua and now Dunedin.
“This growth is only achievable through strong relationships with New Zealand’s major hotel investors.”
