The hotel is now a well-known landmark on the Perth skyline and has, over the last 40 years, acquired iconic status with residents and visitors alike. Metro Hotel Perth will add 46 rooms to its existing hotel of 94 rooms to meet the increased demand for accommodation in Perth.
The redevelopment will also include major renovations to the lobby area of the hotel, pool area, restaurant and car park. Building will commence in mid-2013 and is expected to be completed by the end of 2013, with minimal disruption to guests.
Metro Hospitality Group’s chief operating officer George Bedwani said, “We believe the hotel industry in Perth will remain buoyant over the next five years as there continues to be capacity constraints due to few major hotel developments being built in Perth. This particular hotel is in high demand as its just outside but within easy access to the CBD.
Four years ago we completed a $3.5 million renovation to all 94 rooms. That renovation has been instrumental in us capitalising on the current boom. We are now going the next step to ensure we benefit from the anticipated growth and demand over the next 4-5 years.”
Enjoying panoramic views across the Swan River, Metro Hotel Perth is an ideal accommodation choice for value-conscious business and leisure visitors to Perth.
The rooms are much larger than the average hotel room, many with private balconies, and 70 currently overlooking the scenic Swan River. The hotel has seven conference rooms with a seating capacity for 200 people, its own licensed restaurant and bar, an outdoor swimming pool and parking.
