Oaks Hotels & Resorts is set to make its debut in the Northern Territory with the acquisition of Elan Soho Suites, its first property in Darwin.
The deal worth A$57.1 million will see the 301-room property rebranded to Oaks Elan Darwin.
Chief Executive Officer of Minor Hotel Group, Mr. Dillip Rajakarier, said the acquisition of Elan Soho Suites comes as MHG continues to make strategic investments in Australia.
“Darwin has always been on our wish list and we are thrilled that Minor Hotel Group will now be represented in the Northern Territory.”
