\u201cWe view Wollongong as one of the most significant regional markets in Australia and we have confidence in the region and its continued growth and development as a major regional hub. We look forward to bringing the Mantra brand into this market.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
It will be business as usual with management and staff at the property which offers fully self-contained one and two bedroom apartments, a rooftop deck and entertaining area plus conference and meeting rooms for up to 80 people, all located in the heart of Wollongong CBD.<\/span><\/div>\n
Opened in 2008, the hotel will undergo a series of upgrades to rooms and facilities over the next nine months to ensure it remains a hotel of choice for the region.<\/span><\/div>\n
\"unnamedMarianne Ossovani Executive Director of Hotels, Tourism & Leisure for Moss Capital said the new addition to the portfolio was both a positive step for the group and the region.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cThe Mantra brand is a well-known and respected mid-market hotel brand and we look forward to bringing the expertise and profile to the property and to the city of Wollongong.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
Ideally situated opposite the Wollongong train station with \u201cThe Gong\u201d free shuttle stopping nearby and complimentary security onsite parking, Mantra Wollongong is the ideal hotel of choice when visiting the Illawarra region.<\/span><\/div>\n
