Empire Rockhampton will be Central Queensland’s largest Residential and Apartment Hotel, and is the most anticipated new riverfront development since The Edge was offered to the market in 2007.

The increasing demand caused by the mining boom, Gladstone overflow and many other businesses confirms the demand for another high end apartment hotel.

The changing trends to all areas across Australia clearly shows corporate travellers are staying longer, and there is now a far greater demand for one bedroom self contained apartments as opposed to studio style hotel rooms.

This trend is also apparent at The Edge where the larger percentage of enquiry is toward the one bedroom instead of the dual key studio room. Based on price point, the one bedroom apartment shows the highest return in the short term hotel sector. When comparing a hotel suite and a one bedroom apartment, the one bed will continually yield the best results.

Empire Apartment Hotel has been designed meet this change and higher investor yield by offering investors 91 one bedroom fully self contained apartments. All apartments have been specifically designed to meet the needs of corporate and holiday travellers; including wireless internet, study desks, and large bedrooms which can accommodate the option of a split king bedding configuration.

The attention to detail in design, combined with its location and on site amenities such as 65 metres of riverfront dining options, 20 metre two lane lap pool, children’s pool and gymnasium puts Empire Rockhampton in a class all on its own.
