EVT Hotels & Resorts recognised the opportunity to enter and innovate in the lifestyle-budget accommodation market, with the development of the LyLo brand and now the introduction of new room experiences under the Atura brand, cleverly designed to meet the needs of modern travellers.
Maximising assets is a strategic goal at EVT, by continually assessing ways to generate additional earnings from real estate to grow asset value.
At Atura Adelaide Airport, 28 additional rooms consisting of three new experiences – Snuggy, Snuggy Plus, and a Family room have been opened to compliment the current spacious room experiences.
Recognising global trends in the new way to stay, these smaller room experiences offer character that truly emulate the saying ‘there is a place for everything and everything in its place’.
• Snuggy: At 12m2, these compact and comfy rooms are ideal for overnight stays with all that you need in a new way. Inspired by LyLo’s social accommodation model, yet upscaled based on Atura customer insights and brand design, the new contemporary rooms offer clever design features and essential amenities at an affordable price. Whilst compact in their cabin-like design, a great night’s sleep is still the highest priority and each room includes a King Dream Bed nestled with slimline window for uninterrupted shuteye, cocooned in your own private sanctuary. Compact ensuites flooded with deep green hues feature Mr Smith amenities, luggage storage and a foldaway desk shaped like a vintage suitcase, sees function transform into play for those that need to work remotely. A choice of Snuggy Room with or without a television, helps unplug at the end of the day.
• Snuggy Plus: Taking things up a notch at 18m2, Snuggy Plus include a television and comfy two-seater lounge chair surrounded by pops of Atura’s signature design, perfect before an early flight or relaxing after a long one.
• Family: Families need more room to relax and play. The new 40m2 Atura Family design includes a King Dream bed and bunkbeds for the perfect night’s sleep. Spread out on the built-in lounge or table and chairs, the perfect space to play the included kid’s games, before you top off the night with a movie. The ensuites Mr Smith amenities ensure you have everything you need. So convenient, you may be swayed to stay a few more days.
These innovative new room types ensure EVT has a room design catering to every guest and budget, from LyLo and their pods, right through to the luxury of QT Hotels & Resorts spacious suites. As owners and operators of Hotels, recognising new traveller trends and delivering greater returns from hotel assets is fundamental.
“Atura’s new rooms represent our commitment to innovation in meeting the diverse needs of our guests,” EVT group general manager Callum Kennedy says.
