BWH Hotels Expands South Australian Portfolio with Hahndorf on Main Opening in Historic Adelaide Hills
BWH Hotels Australasia is set to expand its footprint in South Australia with the opening of Hahndorf on Main, BW Signature Collection this November, bringing a new boutique accommodation offering to one of the state’s most iconic tourism destinations.
The opening marks the third property owner Andrew Chapman has brought into the BWH Hotels network in the past two years, following the successful partnership of Best Western Adelaide Airport and Best Western Port Lincoln.
The new hotel builds on Chapman’s existing partnership with BWH Hotels through Best Western Adelaide Airport and Best Western Port Lincoln. Together, the three properties showcase a thoughtful approach to brand alignment across different markets and guest segments.
Located in the heart of historic Hahndorf, the newly built property combines contemporary comfort with the charm and character of Australia’s oldest surviving German settlement. The hotel joins BWH Hotels’ growing BW Signature Collection portfolio and further strengthens the group’s presence across South Australia.
Rod Munro, Managing Director of BWH Hotels Australasia, said the addition of Hahndorf on Main reflects the strength of the relationship built with Andrew Chapman and his growing hotel portfolio.
Over the past two years, we’ve worked closely together across Best Western Adelaide Airport and Best Western Port Lincoln, building a strong partnership based on trust, collaboration and a shared commitment to delivering outstanding guest experiences.”
“Andrew has a deep understanding of the hotel market and is highly strategic in how he positions each property within his portfolio. He recognises that selecting the right brand is about more than a name above the door. It’s about understanding the property’s unique strengths, target guests and long-term objectives.”
“BW Signature Collection is an excellent fit for Hahndorf on Main, allowing the hotel to retain its individual character while benefiting from the scale and support of our global network. We’re excited to see this outstanding new property open its doors in November and look forward to another successful chapter in our partnership with Andrew and his team.”
Owner Andrew Chapman said the new property was a natural addition to his growing accommodation portfolio. “Hahndorf is a unique destination with strong appeal for both leisure and business travellers, and we’re pleased to be adding a new accommodation option in the heart of the town,” Chapman said.
“Following our experience with Best Western Adelaide Airport and Best Western Port Lincoln, partnering with BWH Hotels again made sense for this project. BW Signature Collection aligns well with the property’s boutique style, and we’re looking forward to welcoming our first guests later this year.”
