Pullman Melbourne Albert Park Unveils Multimillion-dollar Renovation

Pullman Melbourne Albert Park has opened its doors following a multimillion dollar renovation of its 169-guestrooms, executive lounge, meeting spaces and public areas. The hotel is the first of Australia's largest and fastest growing 5-star hotel brand to open in Melbourne.

Enjoying a spectacular location overlooking Albert Park Lake and the Formula 1 Grand Prix track, Pullman Melbourne Albert Park will be a front row seat to the popular racing event taking in more corners than any other view in Melbourne from the top floor suites.

Having long held the reputation as Melbourne's premier business and events hotel, the former Sebel has received the 5-Star Pullman treatment of its business facilities and meeting spaces making it a luxurious yet functional experience for travelling executives.

The new look lobby features a spiral staircase and a striking light feature creating an impressive sense of arrival for guests complemented by a personalised and friendly check-in process.

The Pullman Executive Lounge, a hallmark of every Pullman hotel, has been designed to create a serene space to do business or simply relax. Available exclusively to guests staying on executive floors of the Pullman Tower, access to the Lounge adds value and convenience to any stay. With a stunning new marble refreshment station, plush sofas and LED televisions, the Lounge is a comfortable and stylish home-away-from-home for discerning business and leisure travellers.

As part of the hotel's dramatic transformation, the guestrooms have been updated with a contemporary colour palette of gold, red and chocolate. Each guest room features an iPod and iPad docking station, a multimedia connectivity panel, glass work table, lounge chair and well-appointed Roger&Gallet bathroom amenities, meeting the needs of both business and leisure guests.

Gillian Millar, General Manager of the Pullman Melbourne Albert Park said: "As Pullman is now Australia's largest and fastest growing 5-star hotel brand it was only a matter of time before Melbourne was home to a world-class Pullman."

"Being such an iconic business and events hotel, particularly with the Grand Prix racetrack directly opposite the hotel, we're excited to see the hotel flourish under its new internationally revered banner and mixing business with leisure - a key Pullman identifier, certainly prevails here."

With 28 event spaces under the one roof, Pullman Melbourne Albert Park is one of the largest and most comprehensive hotel event venues in Melbourne. Hosting functions for up to 1600 people, the ballroom completed an extensive renovation earlier this year and new LED colour control lighting and pin-spot technology was installed, as well as new curtains, operable walls and carpets.
