Event Hospitality and Entertainment has entered into an agreement to manage two new hotels with key owner High Street Holdings, the Rydges Perth King Square and The Miller Hotel in North Sydney.

These hotels join Brisbane’s Kennigo Hotel, also owned by High Street Holdings and managed by Event, and will sit alongside Event’s current stable of hotels and resorts across Australia and New Zealand that includes Rydges, QT, Atura and the Independent Collection by Event.

Currently Peppers King Square, the Rydges brand will return to Perth with the 120 room Peppers CBD property rebranded as Rydges Perth King Square.

The six-year-old property is situated in the busy King Square corporate precinct and near the RAC Arena and Perth city centre.

In addition, the hotel features contemporary furnishings, King Beds, air conditioning, WiFi, Nespresso machines and gourmet tea facilities as well as a gym, restaurant, bar and conference facilities.

High Street Holdings have also awarded Event management of Rydges North Sydney following their recent purchase of the property from Event. The hotel will be rebranded ‘The Miller Hotel’ and will undertake a full refurbishment of its rooms, conference facilities, bar, restaurant and public areas joining the Independent Collection by Event under the Classic Tier.

These hotels join the Kennigo Hotel, which was acquired as the Mantra Richmont by High Street Holdings approximately 12 months ago and rebranded the Kennigo under the Independent Collection by Event.

Located in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley, the Kennigo offers sweeping city views and comfortable accommodation with function and conferencing facilities onsite.

“Event is delighted to further develop the partnership with High Street Holdings and welcome these outstanding properties to our growing portfolio of hotels and resorts,” said Event Hospitality and Entertainment’s Director of Hotel and Resorts Operations, Norman Arundel.

“We look forward to working with the incredible local teams to amplify these hotels’ and provide our guests the uniquely local hotel experience they’ve come to expect from our brands.”

Under the management of Event, all three properties will be full participants in Event’s Priority Guest Rewards loyalty program and all Event distribution channels.
