Australia's fastest growing apartment hotel operator, Veriu Group has continued the ambitious roll out of its successful Punthill apartment hotel accommodation model with the opening of its third NSW property - Punthill Maitland, on 5 August 2024.

The first hotel brand to open in the town in more than a decade - and the Group's first outing in regional NSW, the 76-apartment property is located at 373 High Street, close to Maitland's commercial centre, and offers a mix of modern studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, including interconnecting and accessible room types.

Designed to accommodate solo and group travel, for both business and leisure, each state-of-the-art apartment comes with a fully equipped kitchen, a desk, fast, high-quality internet, smart televisions with streaming capability, in-room laundry facilities, and secure on-site parking. Other on-site facilities, including a spacious conference room measuring 100sqm, along with a well-equipped gymnasium, further enhance the hotel's appeal and make it the perfect choice for an overnight or extended stay.

An easy drive from Newcastle Airport, Maitland lies at the gateway to NSW's acclaimed Hunter Valley region, placing Punthill Maitland's guests within easy reach of a plethora of amenities and attractions. The town itself boasts a diverse culinary scene, with a range of restaurants and bars catering to all tastes, from casual cafes to upscale dining establishments, while a great selection of shops and entertainment venues provides further options for leisure pursuits. History buffs will also delight in exploring Maitland's rich heritage through its many historical and cultural sites.

Both the Maitland Showground and the Maitland Regional Art Gallery are within short walking distance; the Maitland Hospital is also close by; and easy access to the town's thriving business parks also makes Punthill Maitland ideal for corporate travellers. For those keen to venture further afield, the hotel is the perfect base for exploring the wider Hunter Valley Region, renowned for its wineries and stunning scenery.

The property has been developed in partnership with the Panthera Group, highly regarded for its depth of experience delivering successful high-quality mixed used commercial and residential developments throughout New South Wales and Queensland. CEO, Mario Evangelo is also delighted the hotel is now open.

The opening of the new Punthill Maitland marks the start of what is expected to be a very busy twelve months for the Veriu Group, with a number of other projects nearing completion including Punthill Sunshine in Melbourne's west, the Group's first ACT property - Punthill Tuggeranong and its latest Veriu hotel - Veriu Macquarie Park in Sydney. The Group also remains focused on its ambitious expansion plan to roll out the successful Punthill apartment hotel accommodation model across NSW, with a number of other regional openings scheduled in the next couple of years.

More announcements about the opening of new Punthill and Veriu hotels at various sites around Australia, are expected from the Veriu Group in the coming months.
