Wyndham Hotel Group, the world's largest hotel company with approximately 7,490 hotels and part of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation , today announced the addition of Shoal Bay Resort & Spa to
the company's expanding portfolio of properties in the South Pacific
region.
One of New South Wales' most historic hotels, the recently
refurbished property will be branded the Ramada Resort Shoal Bay and
managed through Wyndham Hotel Group's South Pacific operations, based on
Queensland's Gold Coast. The property joins eight Ramada hotels
currently operating in Australia.
"The opening of Ramada Resort Shoal Bay is a significant milestone in
our rapid expansion across the South Pacific," said Barry Robinson,
managing director, South Pacific, Wyndham Hotel Group. “Shoal Bay is
known for its spectacular natural beauty and the iconic Australian
property provides the ideal base for holiday and business travel and
exceptional onsite conference facilities for meetings and events.”
Situated on five acres of beachfront, the property was formerly known
as the historic Country Club Hotel, a legendary 20th century holiday
establishment on Australia's East Coast. The original club house played a
pivotal role in World War II, when it was used as the headquarters for a
major training operation involving 20,000 military personnel in the
sleepy town of Shoal Bay. Today, the resort includes more than 200
luxurious self-contained apartments, villas and suites overlooking Shoal
Bay on the New South Wales mid-north coast.
The hotel is the second joint venture between Wyndham Hotel Group and
owner Jay McPhee, who is also collaborating with the company to develop
Australia's first TRYP by Wyndham® hotel, which is set to open mid-2014
in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley.
“This property holds special meaning for generations of Australians
who have enjoyed its hospitality over the decades. I am confident that,
as a Ramada resort, it will exceed expectations as a premier holiday
destination for years to come,” said McPhee.
After its recent restoration, Ramada Resort Shoal Bay now boasts four
restaurants, five bars, three swimming pools and a convention centre
for conferences and events. The resort is also home to the new Lattouf
Hair and Day Spa, which features three Thalassotherapy mineral spa pools
for the ultimate in relaxation and rejuvenation.
The resort, which recently received a bronze award at the 2013 New
South Wales Tourism Awards for Deluxe Accommodation and Business
Tourism, is located just two hours' drive from Sydney, or 30 minutes
from Newcastle airport.
Ramada Resort Shoal Bay is one of the latest properties to be added
to Wyndham Hotel Group's portfolio of approximately 7,490 hotels in 70
countries. Wyndham Hotel Group operates under 15 brands including
Wyndham Hotels and Resorts®, Ramada®, Ramada Encore®, Days Inn®, Night®,
TRYP by Wyndham®, Dream® Hotels and Planet Hollywood® Hotels.
