Matt Tripolone, Managing Director, IHG Hotels & Resorts Australasia & Pacific, explained that this conversion reflects IHG’s strategic approach to working with owners to unlock long-term value.


“This is a strategic repositioning of a great hotel into an even stronger proposition,” said Matt. “By working closely with Pro-invest Group and their operating partner EVT Connect Hospitality, we are aligning the right brand with the right asset, and the right location – taking a long-term view to support sustainable returns. Conversions like this demonstrate how we partner with owners to maximise value through brand strength, commercial capability and efficient execution.”


Ronald Stephen Barrott FRICS, Pro-invest Group Founder & Chairman, said the decision reflects confidence in both the asset and IHG’s premium platform. “This hotel has an established track record and an exceptional location in the Queenstown market,” said Ron. “Transitioning to voco allows us to reposition the asset for its next phase, leveraging IHG’s scale, systems and premium brand strength to support long-term performance.”


voco Queenstown will join IHG’s growing premium portfolio in New Zealand and is fully integrated into the company’s enterprise platform – including global distribution, sales, and its IHG One Rewards loyalty programme.   ... Read more here
