Opening in 2015 and developed in collaboration with the Victorian Government following the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires, the property features 101 modern guestrooms, including five suites, a conference centre with five meeting and conferencing spaces catering for up to 350 guests, a restaurant and bar, gymnasium, tennis court, heated outdoor swimming pool, sauna, wellness centre and day spa.
The hotel has joined the Accor portfolio following the sale to new owners The Shakespeare Property Group.
The Shakespeare Property Group CEO and Managing Director, Yak Yong Quek, said: "We are delighted to partner with Accor on this premier regional tourism asset and we're confident it will operate with great success under Accor. Partnering Peppers with this property is a natural association. We believe the Peppers brand perfectly captures the essence of this boutique hotel, which is a welcome addition to the established reputation the hotel already enjoys. Regional tourism is vital to the Australian economy and key to the sustainability and vibrancy of communities and we are proud to invest in it."
Peppers Marysville is the fourth hotel that The Shakespeare Property Group has partnered with Accor on in Australia, following the success of Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort, Pullman Cairns International and Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort.
Located just 90 minutes from Melbourne and tucked away in the forested foothills of Victoria's Great Dividing Range, Marysville has long been a favourite getaway destination thanks to its tranquil riverside location, culinary delights, wonderful scenery and outdoor adventures.
Boasting some of the most scenic cycling routes on the doorstep of Peppers Marysville, the hotel has partnered with Australian cycling legend Simon Gerrans.
