"With 55 deluxe rooms as well as two intimate meeting rooms, which provide the flexibility of hosting both virtual and physical meetings, the Alloggio Thornton is uniquely equipped to help grow the local economy," Mrs Stephenson said.

"Our hotel has also been decked out with state of the art technology across all aspects of the business, ensuring efficiency and convenience for our guests," she continued.

"The surrounding area has some 400 businesses, employing more than 5000 people, and we intend to do our part to help them prosper, be they medical centers, industrial bases, sporting grounds, restaurants, cafes or retailers."
