Dr. Tanapun Siripathrawan, Chief Executive and Owner of the Amora Group with hotel assets located in Thailand, New Zealand and Australia, is delighted to launch the Amora brand in New Zealand.

The three New Zealand hotels, Amora Hotel Wellington (formerly Duxton Wellington), Amora Hotel Auckland (formerly Duxton Auckland) and Amora Lake Resort Okawa Bay, Rotorua (formerly Duxton Hotel Okawa Bay Rotorua) will all officially join the Amora Group on Feburary 1, 2011.

All properties have been managed by Amora Hotels & Resort for a number of years, and the rebranding of the hotels follows a major refurbishment of Amora Hotel Wellington and a soft refurbishment of Amora Hotel Auckland.

The Amora Group now operates the following independent hotels

Amora Hotel Jamison Sydney

Amora Hotel Riverwalk Melbourne

Amora Hotel Phuket

Amora Hotel Chiang Mai

and now

Amora Hotel Wellington

Amora Hotel Auckland

Amora Lake Resort Okawa Bay, Rotorua

With the completion of an extensive room refurbishment of the 192 room Wellington property (which redefines superior comfort and luxury with contemporary style in New Zealand’s Capital City),  it was the perfect time to introduce the Amora brand  to travellers to New Zealand.

According to Dr Siripathrawan , “throughout Australia and Thailand, Amora Hotels & Resorts are renowned for an exceptional attention to detail, a passion for the guest experience, and superior facilities, so we are delighted to give these three New Zealand properties the Amora name.”

“We know that the Amora customer would be delighted to stay, dine or meet in these three hotels and we look forward to welcoming both returning and new customers to experience the Amora difference,” he said.
