Holiday Inn Express Newcastle

Located on King Street in Newcastle's commercial precinct, within close proximity to the city centre, Newcastle Harbour and Honeysuckle, the 170-room hotel capitalises on Newcastle's renewed focus in the area and provides a boost to the local economy through jobs and tourism.

The Newcastle property is the fourth Holiday Inn Express to open in Australia by Pro-invest Group following the launch of the Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide properties, with several more in the pipeline including Melbourne, Sydney Airport and Queenstown, New Zealand, in the next 12 months.

Pro-invest Group Chief Executive Ronald Barrott says Newcastle's beautiful harbourside and beach setting, together with its growing restaurant and dining scene made it an obvious choice for the group's next hotel.

Officially launching at a VIP event on April 4 the hotel, with its striking interior design by renowned architect Joseph Pang, boasts contemporary shared spaces such as The Great Room, with its urban-style fit out featuring timber, pops of colour and quality furnishings.

The hotel also features a gym, two flexible meeting rooms, self-serve laundry, onsite parking and a free business centre, in addition to well-appointed rooms complete with a power shower, black-out blinds, high-quality bedding with a choice of pillows, uncapped Wi-Fi and free Express Start Buffet Breakfast or Grab and Go option.

Hotel Manager Rob Fahey says Holiday Inn Express Newcastle offers guests more where it matters most from a convenient location in the commercial district and exceptional sustainability-focused facilities and initiatives.

The hotel will be officially opened with a ceremonial ribbon cutting by Pro-invest Group Chief Executive Ronald Barrott. Also attending the launch event is City of Newcastle Deputy Lord Mayor Declan Clausen.
