PARKROYAL Melbourne Airport has revealed an extensive multi-million-dollar refurbishment to enhance its appeal as the ultimate gateway for domestic and international travellers and elevate its offering as a business event destination.
It will transform the traditional ‘in transit’ experience as the only hotel directly connecting the domestic and international terminals.
The hotel is popular with guests who want to avoid the early morning rush, traffic crush, taxis, and parking hassle for a relaxing night ahead of their flight or for business travellers who regularly book in for a pre or post-meeting night to unwind and recharge.
Its convenient Day Pass makes long layovers a breeze, with guests able to swap hours in the terminal for a much-needed nap, an in-room movie, a gym workout, or a refreshing swim.
Due for completion in late December 2023, the hotel’s onsite amenities include the modern restaurant Airo, the casual Airo Café and the Airo Bar.
The fully equipped 24-hour gymnasium, heated indoor lap pool, spa, sauna, and steam room enhance the guest experience by helping guests unwind before their journey.
There is a reimagined ballroom and 14 newly refurbished function rooms with the latest innovative technology and state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment for those hosting and attending meetings, conferences, and events.
“This refurbishment will elevate the experience for guests staying at the hotel, as well as those attending our myriad business events,” said Cameron Mead, General Manager of PARKROYAL Melbourne Airport.
“We are excited to welcome guests to discover our contemporary new interior design aesthetic, which has been influenced by Melbourne’s unique personality and inspired by diverse Victorian aerial landscapes, from the city’s grid-style urban planning to the organic form of the Yarra River.”
Sustainability has been considered throughout the redesign process, with existing joinery upgraded and re-purposed in multiple areas to promote a circular economy and antimicrobial and sustainable materials selected wherever possible to improve longevity and minimise waste.
