The Schwartz‐owned Rydges Sydney Central hotel is about to undergo a chic new refurbishment as well as add two new floors of executive rooms (pictured below) and corner suites.
With its prime location near Central station and in the heart of Surry Hills’ trendy dining precinct, the hotel’s designers are incorporating a highly contemporary ‘Urban Surry Hills’ design into the new rooms, including a very innovative textured exposed‐brick design for the bed‐head and vibrant colours for lounges and chairs.
In all, 38 rooms and suites will be added to the hotel, bringing the total inventory to 309 rooms.
The new rooms will be constructed in the eastern wing on levels 5 & 6 above the existing swimming pool and around the current atrium. During the project the pool, spa and sauna will receive a refresh as well.
This will impact our pool during August to October 2016, with access to the pool, spa and sauna unavailable during this time. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter and we look forward to sharing our exciting new product with you in the future.
A feature of the upgrade will be the creation of four additional corner suites that take in the full Surry Hills ambiance.
Coinciding with the construction of the new rooms – which should be ready in time for the peak business and conference period in February/March 2017 – will be a major upgrade of all existing rooms, including new carpet, paint, lighting, furnishings, 50” LED TVs, artwork and corridors.
By using light-weight materials and methods, construction of the two new floors and the refurbishment program will cause minimal disruption to hotel guests and the operation of the hotel.
General Manager of the Rydges Sydney Central, Andrew McKenna, said that the popularity of the Surry Hills area, along with easy access to the CBD, Moore Park and Sydney Airport, were a winning combination for Rydges Sydney Central.
“The refurbishment really captures the feel and style of the area, and the generous size of the new and existing rooms makes the hotel a perfect base for corporate and leisure travellers and conference groups,” said Mr McKenna.
