Accor Hotels snow how to be ‘Queen’ of Winter Games NZ
Accor’s four hotels in Queenstown – Sofitel Queenstown Hotel & Spa, Hotel St Moritz – MGallery Collection, Novotel Queenstown Lakeside and Mercure Queenstown Resort – have become the official accommodation providers of Winter Games NZ 2013.
An international sporting event, Winter Games NZ is the launch pad to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia and will be held from 11-25 August in Queenstown and Lake Wanaka.
As part of the sponsorship, Accor’s Queenstown hotels are offering special accommodation rates during the Games which can be access via the Winter Games NZ 2013 website - www.wintergamesnz.com/travel.
In addition, the hotels will assist with hosting accommodation and facilities for event officials, Olympic committee members and VIPs during the Winter Games tournament.
More than 1,000 elite winter sports athletes from around the world will descend on the South Island’s spectacular Southern Alps to compete in no less than seven World Cup events over the 14-day competition.
Vice President of Accor NZ & Fiji, Garth Simmons, says while Winter Games NZ only comes around every two years, it is one of the most exciting events on Queenstown’s events calendar. Our hotels are excellently placed to cater for the influx of the world’s best snow sports athletes and we look forward to welcoming them alongside event officials and spectators to our Sofitel, MGallery, Novotel and Mercure hotels this August.”
Accor offers four distinct accommodation options in the heart of Queenstown - from the well-appointed Mercure Resort and premier 4-star Novotel on the shores of Lake Wakatipu to the understated boutique luxury of Hotel St Mortiz and Sofitel Queenstown Hotel & Spa - there is a hotel to suit every taste and budget.
Don’t miss all the action from the Winter Games NZ 2013 and book your accommodation with Accor hotels right in the heart of Queenstown, priced from AUD $119 or NZD $139 per night. See www.wintergamesnz.com/travel.
Winter Games NZ will also include an Adventure Film Festival featuring films, live music and entertainment in Queenstown and Wanaka.
