Q: What sustainability initiatives does the hotel employ?
A: Peppers Gladstone demonstrates its commitment to sustainability through the installation of solar panels, energy-efficient LED lighting, removal of single-use plastic and recycling bins in all Peppers and Mantra rooms.
These initiatives minimise the hotel’s environmental impact while maintaining a high level of guest comfort, reflecting Accor’s broader commitment to sustainability.
Q: Finally, what sets your hotel apart from others in the location?
A: Peppers Gladstone is committed to leading the accommodation sector in Central Queensland. The property began in 2012 with 60 rooms under the Mercure brand but rebranded to Mantra in response to changing guest needs, with a major refurbishment in 2021.
The addition of 32 five-star Peppers rooms now allows us to cater to both corporate and leisure guests while expanding capacity to host events for up to 250 people.
Our team is focused on growth and enhancing the guest experience – more exciting developments are on the way.
