The franchise serves a diverse range of international and domestic travelers, offering standardized lodging facilities designed for both business and leisure guests. Centered on the hotel and resort market, the brand focuses on delivering consistent hospitality experiences across city, suburban, and regional locations. The business model utilizes a traditional hospitality franchise format, allowing independent owners to align their properties with the brand’s global network.

Franchisees benefit from an operational framework that includes access to centralized sales, marketing, and distribution channels. Notable components of the model include integration into the Accor loyalty program and regional support teams that assist with hotel performance and the implementation of standardized service protocols. The franchise system was established in Australia in 2007, though the parent group has maintained a presence in the region since 1991. The brand scale includes broad representation across Australia and New Zealand, forming part of a wider international portfolio. This network allows individual units to leverage global electronic distribution systems and an extensive customer database to compete within various local hospitality segments.
