Iconic Hotels by Geocon’s flagship brand, Abode Hotels, has opened the doors to its newest hotel, Abode Belconnen, today.
Located in Canberra’s northern town centre and business district, and delivering 152 stylishly appointed self-contained, apartment style rooms to the local accommodation market, Abode Belconnen is the eighth property to join the Abode Hotels portfolio, and the second to open this year.
Part of Geocon’s mixed-use Republic precinct, Abode Belconnen is surrounded by residential and commercial spaces, lifestyle shops, landscaped gardens, and food and beverage venues, including Canberra’s second No.10 Restaurant + Bar, also owned and operated by Iconic Hotels and open from today.
In an Abode Hotels first, Abode Belconnen’s position within the mixed-use precinct grants guests access to a shared onsite pool, gym, and recreational area, which meets a growing demand among travellers for complete accommodation experiences, over just a place to stay.
The significance of opening a new hotel at a time when many others across the market have been forced to close their doors, is not lost on general manager of Iconic Hotels, Rien Donkin.
“The entire travel industry has faced extreme and unforeseen challenges this year, and the travel landscape as we knew it has changed dramatically,” said Mr Donkin.
“Abode Hotels’ ability to push forward with today’s opening is a testament to the brand’s strength and agility, established guest loyalty, and commitment from the wider Iconic Hotels team, and I couldn’t be more delighted to be celebrating the opening of Abode Belconnen today.”
Like all Abode Hotels, Abode Belconnen provides several room types to accommodate for all needs, including rooms for families or corporate groups, pet friendly rooms, and studios designed specifically for the mobility impaired.
All guest rooms include kitchenette and washer/dryer facilities, as well as free and unlimited WiFi and STAYCAST streaming – enabling guests to connect their device to the TV and enjoy all their favourite movies and shows. An Abode Pantry and access to Pantry Online is also available to all guests.
In line with the seven existing properties within the Abode Hotels portfolio, including five located across Canberra and two New South Wales based, Abode Belconnen prioritises convenience, accessibility, and reliability, offering guests value for money and consistent service.
Located at 3 Grazier Lane, Belconnen ACT 2617, Abode Belconnen is the sixth Abode Hotel to open in Canberra, with the brand’s other two properties situated in New South Wales, in Murrumbateman and Malua Bay.
