Accor selected to operate Sydney's iconic Hotel Woolstore 1888 under its new boutique Handwritten Collection brand.
Accor announced today that one of Sydney's finest heritage hotels, Hotel Woolstore 1888, is joining its portfolio of Handwritten Collection hotels in May 2024 under a hotel management agreement with the hotel's new owners Shakespeare Property Group.
The iconic Darling Harbour property was originally built in 1888 and is the fourth oldest of 21 surviving wool stores in Sydney, however, with its contemporary design and industrial-chic interiors with modern and pop art, nothing is old-fashioned about this hotel.
First opening as a hotel in 2013, this four-level sandstone and brick building boasts 90 guestrooms, a multi-award-winning neighbourhood restaurant and wine bar, a private dining room and meeting space.
Hotel Woolstore 1888 is the fifth hotel that Shakespeare Property Group has partnered with Accor on in Australia, following the success of Pullman Cairns International, Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort, Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort and Peppers Marysville.
The hotel is located in a prominent inner-city location on the corner of Pyrmont and Murray Streets in Darling Harbour, just behind the Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour and the soon-to-be redeveloped Harbourside Shopping Centre.
Handwritten Collection is a global portfolio of one-of-a-kind hotels enriching Accor's offering in the collection brands segment. Since launching just last year, Accor has successfully opened two Handwritten Collection hotels in Australia - Hotel Morris Sydney and Wonil Hotel Perth.
