TGH purchases full interest in Hamilton Riverview Hotel
(Novotel Tainui and Ibis Tainui)
4 June 2014
Tainui Group Holdings (TGH) has purchased the outstanding shares of Hamilton Riverview Hotel Ltd (HRH) to take a 100% stake in the company.
HRH owns the Novotel Tainui Hotel and Ibis Tainui Hotel which are both located in central Hamilton. HRH was formed in 1999 with TGH and Hamilton City Council (HCC) each taking a 41.38% stake and hotel operator Accor the remaining 17.24% In October last year TGH purchased HCC’s 41.38%.
Tainui Group Holdings Chief Executive Mike Pohio said the option to purchase Accor’s shareholding arose after HCC sold its stake last year. “Like with HCC, TGH was the logical purchaser of Accor’s 17.24%,” he said.
Mr Pohio
said it will be business as usual for guests. “As part of
this purchase we have extended Accor’s management contract
for a further 25 years, and we look forward to continuing to
support them in the management of the hotels.”

setting up this venture with the Tainui Group Holdings and
the Hamilton City Council 15 years ago. We look forward to a
continued strong relationship with TGH with the on-going
management of Novotel and ibis Tainui Hamilton.”
