A trio of Australian hotels proves there’s no match for designer style, as it takes the ambitious step to become completely independent.
Urban Hotels, which boasts a portfolio of three elegant properties in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, broke away from tourism giant Accor on 30 June to establish itself as an exclusive stand-alone hotel group.
Owned and operated by businessman Les Erdi, Urban Hotel Group was formed in 2007 and comprises of Urban St Leonards on Sydney’s North Shore, Urban Brisbane on Wickham Terrace, and Urban St Kilda on Fitzroy Street. The chic properties draw a young, professional crowd, who are swayed by location – being in the coolest neighbourhoods – and the little touches that are truly unique.
Decadent delights satisfy the senses at each location – from the independent restaurants serving edgy Australian cuisine, the hip cocktail bars providing the perfect post-trip hang-outs, and Apple internet access throughout the properties, down to the subtle sounds wafting from Bang & Olufsen sound systems and the gentle scent of Urban’s signature lavender.
This is a brand that prides itself on providing ultra-chic designer havens, intimate atmospheres, with personal service and extreme attention to detail.
