Amalgamated Holding Limited (AHL), operators of multi-award winning QT Hotels & Resorts, the Art Series Hotels and Rydges Hotel & Resorts, have expanded their hotel business with the opening of the first Atura Hotel in Blacktown. Atura Blacktown has been designed by renowned hotel designer Nic Graham with industrial inspiration taking modern functionality and form and marrying it with engaging embrace.

Expect the unexpected with extensive use of natural light, high ceilings, and a modern mix of materials to engage harmoniously with the natural surroundings. The serenity and composure of the semi-rural location prevail, guaranteeing whether its business or pleasure Atura delivers an extraordinary and surprising experience.

Bloom Chair by Calligaris

Using a mix of materials, such as solid beech wood for the frame and four legs and polycarbonate for the shell of the seat, has allowed us to achieve a durable, lightweight and ergonomic chair that’s design-savvy. The shape of the seat, rounded and snug, becomes at the same time a structural and decorative motif of the product.

It provides travellers a unique high value experience with an emphasis on connectivity and community, combining complimentary wifi with high energy public spaces – the Roadhouse Bar & Grill, a free business centre of Apple iMacs, games and relaxation living zones, a little shop of Grab & Go treats and hip outdoor courtyard pool area with bar and seating.

“Atura brings a fresh approached to the local Australian accommodation industry,” said Group Managing Director, AHL David Seargeant. “The Atura brand is part of a growing global trend towards design-driven hotels offering guests a unique experience – Atura does this with even more value.”
