WA is about to get Australia\u2019s first Holiday Inn Express as part of a major new development in Perth\u2019s south.<\/p>\n
The residential and hotel complex will be built in Cockburn by IHG Hotels & Resorts in partnership with property developer SKS Group.<\/p>\n
The 170-room hotel tower will form part of a new mixed-use development that includes a separate residential tower.<\/p>\n
It is scheduled to open in September 2026.<\/p>\n
IHG managing director for Australasia and Pacific hotels Matt Tripolone said that he was excited about the benefits of opening the inn in such a strategic and central location about 26km south of the Perth CBD.<\/p>\n
\u201cHoliday Inn Express Cockburn is a strategically important addition to IHG\u2019s Western Australia portfolio,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a pleasure to partner with SKS Group on the development of its first Holiday Inn Express hotel in Australia \u2014 a collaboration that reflects our shared ambition to create long-term value and strengthen our presence in important growth markets.\u201d<\/p>\n
The hotel will be close to key economic drivers in WA such as the industrial Australian Marine Complex and the technologically advanced Murdoch medical precinct.<\/p>\n
IHG is a global hospitality company encompassing 20 hotel brands spread across 100 countries.<\/p>\n
Mr Tripolone said it had no plans to slow its expansion.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt IHG, we remain focused on expanding our portfolio of globally recognised brands that drive commercial success,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis signing underscores the strong appeal of Holiday Inn Express to owners seeking a proven, efficient operating model that delivers impressive returns while meeting the evolving needs of today\u2019s travellers.\u201d<\/p>\n
SKS Group chief financial officer Eugene Lim said that the partnership with IHG was promising.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur confidence in IHG\u2019s ability to deliver strong commercial outcomes led us to reposition this development to Holiday Inn Express,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe brand\u2019s proven track record, powerful distribution platform and compelling value proposition make it an ideal fit for both our investment strategy and this location.<\/p>\n
