Through their brands, including Marsden Hotels & Resorts, Wyndham portfolio brands, and Capstone Hotel Management, they deliver exceptional guest experiences, operational excellence, and sustainable growth with the strength of national reach and local expertise.
As seen in New Zealand Herald, Biz M&A acted as key advisers in the merger transaction between Capstone Hotel Management and Marsden Hotel Group, providing support across valuation, transaction structuring, negotiations, facilitation of key commercial elements, and post-merger transition assistance.
The merger brings together two of New Zealand’s largest locally owned hotel management platforms, creating a national network of approximately 45 properties and more than 2,500 rooms under management from 1 April.
The combined group leverages Capstone’s expertise in third-party hotel management alongside Marsden Group’s capital strength and hospitality investment portfolio, bringing together more than 30 years of industry experience into one consolidated operation.
One of the properties included in the merger is Capstone’s Clements Hotel, which joins the expanded Marsden Group network as part of the strategic integration.
