Event Hospitality & Entertainment Limited (EVENT) today announced it has entered into an agreement to manage three new hotels which currently form part of the 8Hotels Group.  As of 29 October 2018, The Ultimo Sydney, The Pensione Hotel Perth and All-Suites Perth will be managed alongside EVENT's current stable of hotels and resorts across Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom that includes the Rydges, QT and Atura brands.

Under the new management of EVENT, all three properties will be full participants in EVENT's Priority Guest Rewards loyalty program and all EVENT distribution channels, including rydges.com.

The Ultimo Sydney features modern accommodation in Sydney's vibrant Chinatown district. The heritage listed building showcases its original historic roots within a contemporary setting, boasting 95 guest rooms right on the doorstep of Sydney's greatest cultural attractions.

Nestled in the heart of the Perth CBD, The Pensione Perth offers 98 rooms set within its classic 1960's modernism-designed building. Moments away from Perth's major shopping and entertainment district, the property currently ranks in the top 10 Perth hotels on TripAdvisor.

All Suites Perth offers guests the creature comforts of home on the edge of Perth's bustling business district. A short walk from the Swan River and Perth's iconic shopping malls, the property features 43 apartments with all the very best Perth has to offer on its doorstep. 

Norman Arundel, Event Hospitality and Entertainment's Director of Hotel and Resorts Operations said, “EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment is delighted to welcome these outstanding properties to our growing portfolio of hotels and resorts. We look forward to working with the incredible local teams to amplify these hotels' offerings through EVENT's sales and marketing channels, and providing our guests the unrivalled hotel experience they've come to expect from our brands.”
