“Pullman Hamilton
Premium Pullman hotel announced for Hamilton
The new 191 premium room facility will arise from an extensive retro-fit and transformation of Hamilton's tallest building at 42-48 Ward Street - the current Mistry Centre, within the Centre Place shopping mall. Mistry Centre will ultimately comprise of two levels of underground parking, three levels of office and retail and 13 levels of hotel. Work is already underway on the $100m project, with the facility set for its grand opening in 2026. The owners/developers of this prominent development for Hamilton City are local businessmen, Sanjil Mistry and Pienaar Piso, from Mistry Centre Ltd.
The hotel will be operated by the largest hotel operator in New Zealand, Accor, under its premium Pullman hotel brand.
Pullman Hamilton will include underground car parking, restaurants and day spa facilities as well as a private rooftop VIP lounge. The Centre Place shopping precinct that the Mistry Centre and Pullman Hamilton is situated within is jointly owned/operated by Kiwi Property and Tainui Group Holdings, and both stakeholders are fully supportive of the new venture. Tainui Group Holdings CEO, Chris Joblin, said Hamilton's recently announced status as the fastest growing city in New Zealand was a positive signal for the development of another quality hotel in the city, and congratulated Accor on its appointment as hotel management operator.
