PARKROYAL Melbourne Airport has embarked on a three-year refurbishment exercise that will see an overhaul of its meeting rooms, guestrooms and restaurants.
The 276-room hotel, which operated as the Hilton Melbourne International Airport until it was rebranded under the Parkroyal banner last May, has so far replaced a section of the navy blue carpeting on its meeting room floor with a fresh new orange one, as well as installed new beds in all guestrooms.
Parkroyal Melbourne Airport’s general manager, David Travers, explained to TTG Asia e-Daily that upgrading the hotel’s meeting facilities was a priority, as there was “huge demand” from companies flying their staff into Melbourne, and conducting meetings at the hotel instead of travelling to the city centre. The hotel is connected to the airport by a sheltered skybridge.
Thus, the meeting rooms are set to undergo an extensive makeover, with new interiors and audiovisual equipment to come into place by third quarter 2012.
Renovation of the hotel’s restaurants and guestrooms will only commence in 2013, while plans are also being made to equip all guestrooms with wireless Internet access.
