Holiday Inn Melbourne on Flinders has completed the refurbishment of all of its guest rooms and suites. Enlisting architects Wilson & Hill of New Zealand, the hotel has added seven rooms to bring the total room count to 209.

David Hill, Director of New Zealand architect firm Wilson & Hill is delighted to have been part of the refurbishment of a much loved Melbourne hotel, saying “The refurbishment of the existing rooms provided an opportunity to create modern hotel rooms containing up-to-date features and fittings. The materials, finishes and colours create a contemporary Melbourne interior with a high level of quality.”

Each room was completely gutted to create a blank canvas for the architect to design a room with the modern traveller in mind. The bathroom, luggage rack and wardrobe have been purposely designed outside the bedroom, which allows the guests to have more of a living room feeling while relaxing on new Holiday Inn® pillow top beds. Large HD TVs have been integrated into a stylish wall panel with HDMI and USB connectivity, which allows the traveller to connect with free WIFI to their favourite digital content. Travellers are also able to enjoy the floor to ceiling windows with electronically switched block out blinds which can be controlled by the bedside.

The new bathrooms have also been completely gutted and now featuring large showers with no threshold and an opaque window into the bedroom which provides guests with natural light. The stone vanity counter tops offer plenty of space and all fittings are water conserving, ensuring that the hotel continues to minimise the impact on the environment through the IHG Green Engage™ system.

Garry Beadel, Holiday Inn Melbourne on Flinders Hotel Manager believes it has set a new standard of hotel in Melbourne. He says: “The hotel offers a new and fresh experience to our guests. We know that everyone will enjoy our modern rooms and stunning bathrooms, no matter if they are travelling for business or leisure.”

Conveniently located on Flinders Lane in the Melbourne CBD the hotel looks forward to launching the new conference and event space in Q2 2018.
