Jakarta, Respublika – Towards the end of 2022, SKYE Suites Green Square ranked 18th out of 210 starred hotels in Sydney according to TripAdvisor.
This is a golden achievement made by SKYE Suites hotel chain which was founded in Sydney, Australia by Indonesian-born entrepreneur Iwan Sunito. This achievement has been made just over 2 years after opening its doors to the public in March 2020.
Crown Group’s CEO, Iwan Sunito said, I am amazed with what we have achieved in such a short amount of time. We have managed to break into the top 20 in little over 2 years.
“ This is a huge achievement considering we are still a relatively new ‘brand’ compared to some of big chains in the global hotel sector,” Iwan Sunito said, Monday (07/11/22).
It explains, SKYE Suites Green Square even has even surpassed the achievement of one of its siblings, SKYE Suites Sydney, the winner of Apartment/Suite Hotel of The Year 2022 which is currently ranked 43rd position.
SKYE Suites Green Square ranking places it above some highly renowned Sydney properties including Pullman Quay Grand Sydney Harbour (42), Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel at Circular Quay (57), Hilton Sydney (67), InterContinental Sydney (74) and Shangri La (106) on TripAdvisor.
Currently, added Iwan Sunito, SKYE Suites Green Square is only 9 places away from Park Hyatt Sydney (9), 8 places below The Langham (10) and 7 places below Four Seasons (11). SKYE Suites Green Square has also received a Travelers’s Choice 2022 Award on the official TripAdvisor website.
SKYE Suites Green Square is located directly above the Green Square train station and is part of the Infinity by Crown Group building designed by the globally renowned Koichi Takada Architects. As well as the hotel, the Infinity by Crown Group precinct has residential apartments and 18 retail and culinary shops including f(x), Taco Bell, Nam2, Social Society, Bashan Noodle, KFC, McDonalds and Gong Cha Bubble Tea.
SKYE Suites Green Square together with SKYE Suites Sydney have also continued their partnership with Australia’s most popular reality show program, Married at First Sight Australia and Beauty and The Geek.
SKYE Suites Green Square and SKYE Suites Sydney are also honoured to be appointed as the official hotels for Australia’s most prestigious fashion event, the Afterpay Australian Fashion Week for 3 (three) years.
The SKYE SUITES brand was first introduced in August 2017 with the opening of the stunning SKYE Suites Parramatta, part of the mixed-use residential, retail and hotel development, V by Crown Group, then followed by the opening of SKYE Suites Sydney in 2019 and SKYE Suites Green Squares in 2020.
And just like its two “Siblings” SKYE Suites Parramatta also gets a 2022 Travelers’ Choice title on the official Tripadvisor website.
The three SKYE Suites have also successfully recorded slick performances.
“We have managed to record an occupancy level of over 80% in the last few months,” said David Bowen, Head of Hotel Australasia SKYE Suites.
This is the result of the hard work of our professional team in creating a unique and luxurious experience for every guest staying at our hotels. In addition, the Australian government’s policy of opening international gateways since February 2022 has clearly boosted the growth of the hospitality industry, which was affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Since the international gate was opened, there has been a surge in overseas tourists from Asia, especially Indonesia, staying at our three hotels. Location, facilities and services offered as well as the character of each SKYE Suites hotels may become the magnet for those overseas visitors,” David added.
An additional example of the international gate opening policy impact is that the annual Vivid Sydney event by this year has managed to record a 7.5% increase in total visitor numbers compared to 2019.
“Even Tourism Accommodation Australia (TAA) reported that occupancy rates peaked at close to 83% on May 28, 2022.” David Explained. (trs)
