New Zealand has welcomed a new value-focused midscale hotel brand Edit Hotels and Resorts, with four properties launched across New Zealand this month.
Created by the team behind luxury hospitality group Fable Hotels & Resorts, Edit Hotels and Resorts features a portfolio of recently refurbished properties, including Edit Auckland Central (formerly President Hotel), Edit Auckland Greenlane (formerly Greenlane Suites), Edit Picton (formerly Picton Yacht Club Hotel), and Edit Hanmer Springs (formerly Hanmer Springs Hotel).
“Edit is for the savvy traveller from families looking for value, business travellers needing seamless connectivity, or travel hackers who know how to make the most of every trip,” said Director of Sales and Marketing, Lisa Breckon.
“We designed Edit Hotels & Resorts to be affordable without ever feeling cheap. It’s smart, comfortable, and uncluttered – ideal for guests who would rather spend more on experiencing the destination, than the room they sleep in.”
Each Edit property offers midscale accommodation centred around comfort and convenience with a focus on reliable Wi-Fi, service, good location and affordable pricing.
The collection has a digital-first approach with digital compendiums, interactive activity booklets, and digital business cards already available across all properties, and Chromecast streaming and paperless check-in currently in development.
Edit Hotels & Resorts is working alongside local schools to support tamariki and whānau in need. The Auckland hotel partners with Bailey Road School in Mt Wellington, supplying students with school bags, stationery, and drink bottles, in addition to sponsoring a leadership programme for Year 7 and 8 students. A summer work experience initiative is also in the planning stages.
“In Picton, Edit provides termly financial contributions to support Picton School students experiencing challenges such as low attendance and financial hardship. Funding covers access to sports, extracurricular activities, household essentials, and school stationery to remove barriers to learning and participation,” the company said.
“In Hanmer Springs, Edit sponsors weekly school lunches at Hanmer Springs School ensuring students in need receive at least one nourishing meal a week to help them stay focused and ready to learn.”
“Being part of a community means more than just operating in it; it’s about lending a hand and building meaningful, long-term relationships,” added Breckon.
“We’re proud that each Edit property gives back to local school children and families who need a little extra support in a way that’s personal, tangible, and truly makes a difference.”
