Canberra confirmed for Peppers CBD debut
By admin


Canberra has been named as the location of Peppers' first CBD property in Australia, following the Mantra Group’s acquisition of the Diamant Hotel Canberra.

The 80-room property, formerly owned by boutique operator 8Hotels, will rebrand as Peppers Gallery Hotel Canberra in July. 

The milestone comes as the Peppers brand celebrates its 30th anniversary with an expanded network that now includes larger coastal resorts, metropolitan-style accommodation and a new presence in Asia in the form of the Peppers Sentosa Seminyak in Bali.

“This is a historic announcement for Peppers and the first of many CBD properties we have planned for Australia and New Zealand,” Mantra Group chief executive Bob East said.

“We have felt for some time that the Peppers brand would work in CBD locations and needed to find the right property to align with the Peppers name.  The quality and location of the Canberra hotel is a worthy choice to be the first CBD property for the Group.” 

Peppers will also open its first Melbourne property in the city’s Docklands precinct in 2016.

“We are off to a great start with our Peppers CBD network with the Canberra and Melbourne signings and look forward to announcing further additions over the next two years,” East said.
