Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne Announces Restoration and Grand New Name

The historic Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne is well underway in the planning stages of a significant restoration and refurbishment program as part of a multi-million dollar re-branding initiative announced by Rendezvous Hospitality Group (RHG) earlier this month.

Upon completion, Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne will be renamed Rendezvous Grand Hotel Melbourne, offering superior accommodation for upscale, discerning travellers.

The restoration and refurbishment of Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne has been four years in development, with careful research, meticulous study and sensitive consideration undertaken to incorporate and preserve the unique charm, heritage and features of this much-loved, iconic building.

The refurbishment will rejuvenate the historic 1900’s building and include a range of modern facilities for discerning travellers for both business and leisure. Yet the restoration and redevelopment will preserve the historic charm, intricate heritage detailing and interiors that showcase the quintessential personality of this historic Hotel that has a special place in the city of Melbourne.

The refurbishment will provide Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne with the opportunity to distinguish itself through design, image, technology, amenities and brand identity and position the Hotel as one of Melbourne’s outstanding dining and premier accommodation experiences.

The extensive upgrade program incorporates the accommodation rooms and suites, food and beverage facilities and conference and meeting facilities.  Earlier this month, RHG announced a multi-million dollar rebranding initiative uniting Rendezvous Hotels and Marque Hotels into one Rendezvous brand.

The completion of the refurbishment of Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne will be mid 2012, a significant year when part of the original building will celebrate its 100th anniversary.
