Stamford Plaza Melbourne completes major refurb
Stamford Hotels & Resorts has completed a major refurbished project at its Melbourne property, Stamford Plaza Melbourne.
The US$12 million, 18-month revamp encompassed all 283 suites and the hotel’s lobby, and used all Australian-made furnishings.
It also contained environmental elements, as the hotel’s GM Karl Unterfrauner explained. “Stamford Plaza multi-million overhaul allowed us the opportunity to implement environmental initiatives with energy-efficient lighting and water-saving devices throughout the hotel. Sensors have been installed in all suites for both lighting and air-conditioning, turning itself on when a guest steps into the room, an initiative undertaken to reduce our energy consumption.”
Jon Foo, Stamford’s Deputy Chief Operating Officer added; “It’s a very exciting time for Stamford Hotels & Resorts with refurbishments either commencing or completed across the portfolio of eight hotels in Australia and New Zealand. Transformation of any nature is compelling and we are so pleased that our new look has received positive affirmation from our guests. Our aim was also to take advantage of the site’s unique characteristics; with its twin buildings, views, privacy and natural light. We look forward to welcoming our guests to a new benchmark of luxury accommodation in Melbourne.”
