The multi-award-winning Eichardt’s Private Hotel in Queenstown has been bought by a privately-held investment group based in Melbourne, Australia. The Imperium Capital Group has a range of businesses within its portfolio including a number in the hospitality and leisure sector. The sale, which was brokered by Terry Spice of Luxury Real Estate New Zealand was a result of an international marketing campaign which drew strong interest both domestically and from offshore. Christchurch-born Managing Director of Imperium Capital Group, Andrew Cox, said they were passionate business operators looking forward to continuing to build the Eichardt’s brand and existing luxury services, and working with other luxury partners in Queenstown. “This purchase was a strategic investment in an iconic brand in tourism in New Zealand,” he said. “We’re open to looking at other acquisition opportunities in the country now we’ve made this first step.” Mr. Cox said management at Eichardt’s Private Hotel would remain the same and stressed that the company was dedicated to the staff, the community, and retaining and building upon Eichardt’s standing as an iconic destination on the Queenstown waterfront.
