AccorHotels has announced that it has entered into a franchise agreement for Eden Crescent Hotel Auckland which will open in late 2018, the third MGallery by Sofitel in New Zealand.

Once complete the 91 room boutique property, which is owned by CP Group and will be managed by its in-house hotel chain CPG Hotels, will be equipped with all of the luxurious and unique features and services that guests have come to know and love from the MGallery by Sofitel brand.
