There’s a new accommodation destination coming to North-West Melbourne with The Ascott Limited’s Quest Watergardens officially opening on April 17 as the latest addition to the Watergardens precinct.

The greenfield hotel offers 86 spacious serviced apartments over 5 levels with an attractive mix of studio, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments with fully equipped kitchens.

The convenient location and combination of conference facilities and car parking ensures Quest Watergardens exemplifies the brand’s ongoing commitment to making guest stays effortless.

The Ascott Limited Australia’s General Manager Growth and Capital Strategy, James Shields, said the strategic site selection ensures the new hotel has maximum appeal for both corporate and leisure travellers, with Quest Watergardens capitalising on the growing importance of the City of Brimbank as an industrial hub for manufacturing, transport and construction.

“Quest Watergardens represents a key pillar of The Ascott Limited’s strategy for the Quest brand, integrating premium and contemporary accommodation into rapidly growing suburban areas to ensure we elevate the guest experience for everyone who stays with us at Quest.”

“Thanks to our development partner QIC, Quest Watergardens provides a conveniently located accommodation option for travellers in the beating heart of Melbourne’s north-west, just 20 minutes from Melbourne Airport and adjacent to the bustling Watergardens precinct.”

“With the addition of Watergardens, Quest now have 2743 rooms available to service the rapidly growing suburban accommodation market in Melbourne for both short and extended stays.”

QIC Investment General Manager, Megan French-Wright, said that the opening of Quest at Watergardens is a major step forward in QIC’s vision to evolve Watergardens into a true mixed-use town centre.

“The introduction of Quest serviced apartments to the Watergardens precinct represents an important marker in our plan to evolve an already vibrant shopping centre into a thriving town centre for the diverse residents of Melbourne’s north-west,” Ms French-Wright said.

“We know that the combination of a rich shopping and dining destination with Quest’s home-away-from-home accommodation is a winning formula, and we’re extremely pleased to be able to bring this extra level of comfort and convenience to Taylor’s Lakes.”

Quest Watergardens is a franchised property owned by Gazal Kamali, who is excited to welcome her new guests.

“I was impressed by Quest’s resilience throughout the pandemic,” said Gazal. “I respected how quickly they adapted to changing guest needs and how they continue to evolve their offering.”

“Whether travelling for business or leisure, Quest Watergardens gives guests the space they need to relax and enjoy the local retail, hospitality and entertainment options right on their doorstep at Watergardens Marketplace. I’m proud my business is part of the local economic growth story.”
