Distinction Hotel Group has plans for the 1930's,
seven story Chief Post Office in Dunedin.
==============
Geoffrey Thomson, Kiwi born, Invercargill based owner of the Distinction Group, has recently purchased the Historic Post Office building on Princess Street in Dunedin.
Currently owned & operated in the Distinction portfolio is: North Island: Distinction Rotorua, Hotel & Conference Centre, South Island Distinction Te Anau, Hotel & Villas and Distinction Luxmore, Lake Te Anau. Also operating under the Distinction brand is Distinction Nugget Point, Boutique Hotel in Queenstown.
Mr Thomson will be turning the concrete shell into a 4.5 plus Hotel with 180 Rooms & Suites, Restaurants, Bars, Conference facilities, Business Centre, Gym, Lap Pool all with the latest features & technology.
The Post Office has had previous owners with proposals to develop into a hotel, which due to varying circumstances have not come to fruition. But this time the ultimate goal of developing the site, into Dunedin's finest hotel will be achieved, with a Grand Opening in Late 2011.
Mr Thomson has always been inspired with the architectural design of this building and plans to flow that through the entire hotel.
Not only will this project bring more employment opportunities into the region, from trades people to employees working within the hotel, but it is investing in Dunedin's tourism. Mr Thomson sees a bright future for all, with large growth into the region.
