First internationally branded luxury accommodation for QLD’s Hervey Bay
Queensland’s popular resort destination of Hervey Bay goes Grand today with the launch of the Fraser Coast’s first internationally-branded luxury accommodation, the Grand Mercure Apartments Allegra Hervey Bay.
With a prime location opposite the beach and just five minutes from the commercial centre of Hervey Bay, the contemporary-designed AAA rated Five Star Grand Mercure features 49 luxury beachfront apartments.
Each Grand Mercure Allegra apartment makes the most of its prime location, with alfresco terraces and folding tropical shutters taking full advantage of the temperate coastal climate and most with magnificent views. Apartments offer designer kitchens, indulgent spa baths in master suites and quality zoned air conditioning to ensure year round comfort. Private penthouses are also available with exclusive rooftop terraces and spa pools with ground floor apartments offering large terraces and private spa pools.
A full range of leisure facilities are available for guests including a heated lagoon style pool, gym and sauna, and lavish garden surrounds and a magnificent Esplanade restaurant offering poolside dining.
As Queenland’s capital for whale watching and as the gateway to World Heritage listed Fraser Island, Hervey Bay is one of Australia’s favourite holiday havens. The area is also famous for its broad bays and beaches ideal for fishing, sailing, swimming and a range of other water sports.
For those who like to eat out, there are over 30 restaurants operating in Hervey Bay to suit all tastes, plus two club venues that offer complimentary door to door bus transfers for guests of the Grand Mercure Allegra Apartments.
Tourism is a growing industry on the Fraser Coast with both Jetstar and Virgin Blue now offering direct flights into Hervey Bay from Sydney (90 minutes), with easy connections from Melbourne, Adelaide, Hobart, Perth and Christchurch. The destination is also just a scenic three and half hour drive from Brisbane for visitors from South East Queensland.
The addition of the Grand Mercure Apartments Allegra Hervey Bay to the Grand Mercure collection increases the number of hotels across the brand’s Australian network to 18.
