Grand Hyatt Melbourne metamorphosis well underway
The scaffolding is slowly disappearing from Grand Hyatt Melbourne and new stand out hoardings designed and produced by Twenty20 are brightening up the Russell St. streetscape. The design and production of these hoardings have been a challenge for Andrew and Glenda – an interchangeable solution which needed to fit the builders demand for flexibility and a surface which could deal with the inevitable attention of the graffiti terrorists.
Finally, after twelve months into the $45M redevelopment, GHM has entered the final phase of the hotel's metamorphosis, the interior fit out. 85% of hotel operations will be back on-line before this year's Spring Carnival. At this stage they are aiming to reopen the hotels upper lobby, restaurant and bar in early October with small areas of works continuing in the Russell Street porte cochere until early December. “The Residence”, an exciting new concept, will be complete by the end of December and the hotel is currently taking inquiries for this new exclusive events venue from March 2009.
Returning true “Grand Hyatt” luxury to Melbourne has been at the heart of the re-launch strategy – our new advertising campaign will be start appearing in the next couple of months.
