Grand Restoration to Transform Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne into a MICE Mecca

The historic Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne is currently undergoing a significant restoration and refurbishment program of its guestrooms and suites, food and beverage venues and conference and meeting facilities which will cement the Hotel as the smart choice for the MICE market.

Last year, RHG announced a multi-million dollar rebranding initiative uniting Rendezvous Hotels and Marque Hotels into one Rendezvous brand. As part of this initiative, this transformation of one of Melbourne’s significant landmarks will preserve the unique charm, heritage and features of this much-loved, iconic building, while upgrading its facilities to provide superior accommodation for upscale, discerning travellers and conference organisers.

The refurbishment program is scheduled to finish at the end of the year. As part of the process, Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne will be renamed Rendezvous Grand Hotel Melbourne. The hotel will feature refreshed meeting facilities, with over 1100 square metres of meeting and conference space over two levels, including 11 conference rooms for up to 330 delegates.

The restoration and refurbishment of Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne has been four years in development, with careful research, meticulous study and sensitive consideration undertaken to preserve its historic significance and charm.

The refurbishment will rejuvenate the historic 1900’s building and include a range of modern facilities yet it 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.

Mr Eric Teng, CEO of RHG said the transformation of Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne will provide the MICE market with an exciting facility and provide clients with an opportunity to make a statement about their event.

“This is a charming, distinctive venue offering history, heritage and boutique ambience combined with an ideal, central location and great meeting facilities,” he said. “An event at Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne will be truly memorable and grand.”

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 quality meeting, dining and premier accommodation experiences.

The completion of the refurbishment of Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne later this year coincides with the celebration of the 100th anniversary of part of the original building.
