Going back to how it started, Metro Hotels actually planted its seeds with great acquisitions. Until 1988, Metro Hotels operated the landmark Canberra Rex Hotel where President of the United States Lyndon Johnson stayed in later in 1996. The Canberra Rex Hotel was eventually sold to Millie Phillips. Metro Hotels was more interested in The Tower Mill Hotel in Brisbane, so they acquired it in 1994. From then on, the acquisitions of the group grew bigger. Until 2017, Metro Hotels remains a competitive group in terms of expansions.
