Accor, the largest hotel operator in Australia, continues its commitment to regional tourism with the launch of the new-look Peppers Marysville in Victoria's picturesque Yarra Valley, following an extensive refurbishment.
Offering a welcoming experience in the heart of the Yarra Valley, the refurbishment includes a complete transformation of the hotel's entrance and reception area, stylishly updated guestrooms, a completely reimagined day spa, brand new restaurant, refreshed conference facilities, and a new dedicated bike zone to cater for the many cyclists visiting the resort.
Accor Pacific CEO, Sarah Derry, said: "We take great pride in the transformative refurbishment of Peppers Marysville, its fresh new look enriches the hotel experience to an entirely new level and complements the high quality of service provided by the hotel team. Shakespeare Property Group have created a truly exceptional experience for visitors to the region. We look forward to welcoming guests and our ALL loyalty members to the property.”

Each of the 100 guestrooms and suites have been stylishly updated to deliver a sanctuary of comfort and sophistication, thanks to new state-of-the-art room fixtures, brand-new contemporary furnishings and fresh carpet in a soothing colour palette inspired by the seasons.
The hotel's new signature restaurant, the Italian-inspired Andiamo, serves a local and seasonally-inspired menu and Yarra Valley wines for the ultimate gastronomic experience. Diners can sample dishes like house-made pappardelle with duck, verjuice and radicchio ragu, and authentic wood fired pizzas created by Chef Francesco La Mazza, who completed his training at the Federazione Italiana Pizzaioli nel mondo in Sicily Italy.
Boasting a haven of tranquillity, the newly opened Wellness Spa offers a range of holistic treatments and therapies using custom oils and products featuring Australian natural botanicals. Offering three treatment rooms, guests can enjoy a range of tailored spa experiences that are enhanced with access to the hotels' sauna, outdoor heated lap pool, spacious sun terrace and fully equipped gym.
