Extreme Hotel’s vision is to inspire our guests to explore and experience everything the Extreme brand is about by creating a collection of cutting edge extreme sports inspired hotels around the world that are totally different from the standard bland ‘me-too’ hotel chains out there today.

We are achieving this by providing our guests with an inspiring experience; not just a place to stay and delivering great service, tasty food, a killer bar, high quality innovative design, cutting edge technology and as you’d expect the best local advice and access to extreme sports facilities, packages and equipment for all our guests. We’re talking about channeling the passion and exhilaration of extreme sports and unleashing it into the conservative world of hotels.

Located in the some of the finest beach, mountain, snow and urban destinations around the world, and aimed at everyone who is looking for something away from the norm and who lives, loves and revels in the music, the fashion, the travel, and the adventures that the lifestyle that surrounds the sports delivers

Extreme Hotels is now set to expand in and around Australia, in partnership with Best Management Group which is long established in the region, run by a great team, has a great track record and already operates a boutique range of properties comprising 846 rooms on the eastern seaboard, with a similar number at varying stages of development.

“We see the EXTREME Hotels brand having tremendous capacity for growth in this region due the raw, inspiring and irreverent essence of the EXTREME brand and how well it fits with many of our local destinations” said Catterall. We already have an established client base of developers and investors who see merit in applying the unique and internationally appealing EXTREME brand. The potential to revitalise established properties and develop exciting new hotels from the ground up is huge” stated David Catterall.
“What can I say? We have found great people to make this happen with in Australia and what a great country to be rolling out Extreme Hotels in, not only is this one of the world’s leading extreme sports destinations, but it personifies what the Extreme brand is all about.
Our mission is to deliver hotels that inspire and revolutionize what’s on offer in the market today and with Best Managements network and skills, our Extreme Hotels brand and our joint experience we are perfectly positioned to deliver on our vision, move into Australia, ride the wave of attention that the Extreme brand is attracting and totally deliver for both our guests and our property partners alike” Said Al Gosling, Founder and CEO of Extreme.

David Catterall CEO of Best Management added The Extreme Group has thrown out the rule book, and created a hotel brand which sets pulses racing and offers adventure and comfort in equal measure. Extreme’s relentless commitment to pushing the boundaries, fostering innovation in design and delivering high quality products are what attracted us to move on this partnership.
