Formule 1 opens at Sydney Airport.

Accor has opened a Formule 1 property at Sydney Airport.

The budget property's opening follows Sydney Airport's most successful
six months on record, with passenger traffic set to continue growing
strongly into 2005.

The hotel's general manager, Vickie O'Brien, said she had been turning
away potential guests for weeks, taking 74 bookings before its opening was
advertised.

With passenger movements at Sydney Airport now reaching more than
66,000 daily and more than 26 million a year, Formule 1 said it provided a
true budget international hotel at the airport, with rooms from $69 per
night and continental buffet breakfast at $6 per person.

Guests can park for a flat rate of $10 per day and the hotel also
provides a complimentary shuttle to the International terminal, with the
domestic terminal within walking distance.

The 130-room motel offers a variety of room types and configurations
including queen bed plus single bunk, queen bed plus double bunk and
interconnecting disabled rooms on each floor.
