ABOUT US
Marsden Group owns and operates a portfolio of successful accommodation businesses throughout New Zealand and provides hotel management, independent consultancy, and property advisory services to the industry. With affiliated partners, we own and operate a combined portfolio of 4–5 star accommodation properties nationwide, including Marsden Hotels & Resorts and globally recognised brands within the Wyndham Hotels & Resorts portfolio.
In 2026, Marsden Group strengthened its national capability through the acquisition of Capstone Hotel Management. This strategic addition enhances our ability to support hotel owners with independent management, asset oversight, and advisory services, while retaining the flexibility and local expertise that define our approach.
HISTORY
The name Marsden was chosen out of respect and admiration for the late Reverend Samuel Marsden (1765–1838), a visionary admired on both sides of the Tasman for his commercial acumen, strong relationships, and genuine belief in how strategic thinking can help communities prosper.
Originally established in September 2008 as Marsden Hotel Group, Marsden Group has grown from humble beginnings into New Zealand’s largest locally owned hotel management platform. Our people remain our greatest asset; it is their ideas, energy, and commitment to excellence that continue to drive our success.
From the outset, our vision has been clear: to create exceptional accommodation experiences for guests of all ages, supported by a standard of hospitality service that consistently exceeds expectations.
