Hotel Woolstore 1888, one of Sydney’s finest heritage hotels, will be joining Accor’s portfolio of Handwritten Collection hotels in May under a hotel management agreement with the hotel’s new owners Shakespeare Property Group.
The iconic Darling Harbour property was originally built in 1888 and is the fourth oldest of 21 surviving wool stores in Sydney. First opening as a hotel in 2013, this four-level sandstone and brick building boasts 90 guestrooms, neighbourhood restaurant and wine bar, private dining room and meeting space.
The property is located in a prominent inner-city location on the corner of Pyrmont and Murray Streets in Darling Harbour, just behind the Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour and the soon-to-be redeveloped Harbourside Shopping Centre.
Hotel Woolstore 1888 is the fifth hotel that Shakespeare Property Group has partnered with Accor on in Australia, following the success of Pullman Cairns International, Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort, Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort and Peppers Marysville.
Accor Pacific COO PM&E, Adrian Williams, commented: “We’re seeing rapidly increasing popularity and demand in the boutique accommodation market, and Hotel Woolstore 1888 is well placed to capture this growth as a Handwritten Collection hotel.
“Partnering with Accor to operate Hotel Woolstore 1888 under its Handwritten Collection brand was an ideal choice for us as we really want the original character of the hotel to shine. (The) Handwritten Collection offers flexible brand standards, which is perfect for boutique hotel owners,” said Richard Saab, vice president hospitality assets and investments, Shakespeare Property Group.
