Metro Hotels Adds 16 Apartments to its Gladstone Holdings

Transmetro Corporation Limited, the ASX-listed hotel operator which trades as Metro Hospitality Group, has announced its hotel division, Metro Hotels has entered into a management agreement to operate apartments in the 97-unit G60 Apartments development in Gladstone.

Apartments G60 – Managed by Metro Hotels commenced trading this week.

In the new G60 development, Metro Hotels will manage 15 two-bedroom apartments and one three-bedroom apartment, in a strategy designed to give its corporate clients more choice and flexibility.
Metro Hotels already has 53 one-bedroom apartments in Metro Hotel & Apartments Gladstone. This property comprises 53 one-bedroom apartments, whereas the new complex consists entirely of two and three-bedroom apartments.

Gladstone has been fly-in, fly-out for some time due to its mining industry and its location as the fifth largest multi-commodity port in Australia. Also, construction of four LNG plants has fueled demand for more flexible and affordable apartment accommodation in the city.

According to George Bedwani, Chief Operating Officer of Metro Hospitality Group, approximately 90 percent of the property’s occupancy is corporate based, with the majority of large business and government workers staying for just two nights.

“We are broadening and diversifying our holdings in Gladstone to give more choice and flexibility to our clients, at a more affordable price,” George said.

 “It is difficult to find apartment accommodation in Gladstone for short stays. Our new offering will suit the corporate sector as it offers a more affordable option for clients who can now share a two-bedroom apartment for both short and long term stays.

“Some of our regular corporate clients visit Gladstone for up to three or four months. The new apartments give them an alternative accommodation option, allowing them to share a two bedroom apartment with another corporate. A hallmark of all Metro Hospitality Group properties, a central city location ensures clients have easy access to the central business district, local restaurants, bars and shops.

André Rieu to Tour Australia - The Waltz Tour Goes On

Violin master André Rieu, one of the best-selling live acts in the world, is delighted to announce he is returning to Australia with a brand new show in October 2013. Called "And The Waltz Goes On Tour", the tour is named after his successful album on which he collaborated with Sir Anthony Hopkins. Rieu will perform in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.

Billboard ranked his 2011 tour as the 9th highest grossing tour of the year, just behind Lady Gaga. He has broken all classical concert records, packing stadiums and arenas with more than 700,000 adoring fans each year. Rieu has sold over 32 million albums globally and received 330 platinum awards for his albums. With his natural charisma, Rieu conducts his 60-piece Johann Strauss Orchestra and plays his 1732 Stradivarius violin to create a celebratory atmosphere.

"Every night when I play around the whole world, I see with my own eyes what the waltz does with the audience. People get out of their seats and waltz in the aisles spontaneously. They sing, they smile and for a moment they forget all their worries and are happy. That is why this tour is an ode to the waltz!" says André Rieu.

As always, the maestro and his orchestra will perform beautiful waltzes on this tour, but the concerts are much more than that. From famous Viennese operettas to film scores, spirituals to musicals, and from folk songs to marches; Rieu's concerts are a perfect mix of thrilling, romantic, festive and emotional melodies combined with surprises, balloons, beautiful soloists and of course Rieu's great sense of humor.

So far, 2012 has been a hugely successful year for the violinist. Rieu gave a record breaking series of 30 sold-out concerts in Sao Paulo, Brazil. He won a Classic BRIT award for his album "And The Waltz Goes On" and is nominated for a prestigious Mexican Luna award. With his first tour in Brazil Rieu reached the #1 position in Pollstar’s Box Office Chart of highest grossing tours in July. Leaving behind artist like Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen, Radiohead, Coldplay, Celine Dion, The Black Keys and Pearl Jam.
