Accor announced the rebranding of Peppers Waymouth Adelaide as Mövenpick Hotel Adelaide, scheduled to debut in December 2026. The property is owned by Mattioli Group and is located on Waymouth Street in central Adelaide. The addition will mark Accor’s fifth Mövenpick property across Australia and New Zealand.
The hotel has undergone a multi-million-dollar refurbishment in recent years, including a full guest room redesign, new suites and family rooms, a contemporary restaurant and upgraded meeting spaces. Additional upgrades to corridors and guest rooms are planned in the coming months ahead of the brand transition. The reimagined guest rooms will draw design inspiration from South Australia’s Limestone Coast, Murray River, Barossa Valley and Flinders Ranges, featuring contemporary abstract artworks, natural materials and warm tones.
“We are proud to partner with Accor to bring Mövenpick to Adelaide,” said Domenic Mattioli, founder of Mattioli Group. “The hotel has already undergone a significant transformation and this next chapter allows us to build on that investment with a brand that is globally recognized for its warmth, quality and ability to bring people together. Mövenpick’s focus on generous hospitality and meaningful guest experiences aligns closely with our vision for the property and its role within the city.”
“Adelaide is a dynamic city with a strong cultural and culinary identity, making it a natural fit for Mövenpick,” said Adrian Williams, chief operating officer of Accor Pacific. “This signing allows us to introduce a brand that resonates with today’s travellers – one that brings people together through generous hospitality, shared experiences and a genuine sense of place.”
“Across the world, we are seeing strong demand for brands that offer both emotional connection and commercial performance,” said Camil Yazbeck, global chief development officer of Accor. “Mövenpick delivers on both fronts. Its focus on joyful reconnection, combined with a highly adaptable and efficient model, makes it particularly compelling for conversion opportunities such as Mövenpick Hotel Adelaide. This signing reflects the brand’s growing momentum in the Pacific and our confidence in its long-term potential.”
Mövenpick currently operates more than 140 hotels across 40-plus countries. Globally, the brand is projected to grow its network by more than 70% over the next five years.
