AccorHotels' four hotels in Queenstown – Sofitel Queenstown Hotel & Spa, Hotel St Moritz – MGallery Collection, Novotel Queenstown Lakeside and Mercure Queenstown – are returning for the fourth year as the official accommodation providers of the Audi quattro Winter Games 2015.
As part of the sponsorship, AccorHotels in Queenstown are offering special accommodation rates from $99 NZD per night during the Winter Games (21-30 August) which can be booked via the Winter Games website – www.wintergamesnz.kiwi/get-here/accommodation
With four distinct accommodation options in the heart of Queenstown - from the newly refurbished Mercure and Novotel on the lakefront to the luxurious Hotel St Moritz MGallery Collection and Sofitel Queenstown Hotel & Spa - there is a hotel to cater to all budgets.
More than 1,000 elite winter sports athletes from around the world will descend on Queenstown to compete in curling snowboarding, alpine, cross-country and free-skiing World Cup events over the 10-day event.
AccorHotels will be the host accommodation for event officials, Olympic committee members and VIPs during the tournament, as well as Mediaworks radio competition winners.
Senior Vice President of Accor NZ & Fiji, Garth Simmons, says “Drawcard events such as the Audi quattro Winter Games are vitally important to driving our tourism economy and attracting more overseas visitors. AccorHotels is proud to once again partner with the Winter Games and our four hotels are excited to welcome some of the world's best snow sports athletes and spectators to Queenstown in August.”
