Renovations to Metro Apartments Darling Harbour Now Complete - Metro Hotels

Metro Hospitality Group has completed major renovations to its Sydney property Metro Apartments Darling Harbour, including the installation of new kitchens in all apartments, new Sealy beds, refurbished lifts, and the introduction of free high-speed Wifi throughout.

According to George Bedwani, Chief Operating Officer of Metro Hospitality Group, this particular property will maintain its high occupancy because of the strong Sydney  MICE and leisure markets as a result of the many events, concerts, trade shows and conferences which will take place this year.  

“The Sydney Convention Centre will have its busiest year this year before its closure to build a new convention, exhibition and entertainment precinct which will be ready end of 2016.  Metro Apartments Darling Harbour is located in the heart of Sydney overlooking Darling Harbour so this will result in strong occupancy by not only MICE delegates but business and leisure visitors to the city”, George said.

“The Apartments are very popular and enjoy significant repeat business because of their central location, stylish accommodation and competitive rates.”

The Apartments are located in two buildings, the Sussex Street building offering larger, contemporary-styled apartments with views over Darling Harbour while the King Street
building has a more exclusive, intimate appeal. The properties are rated three and a half stars and offer a selection of 32 one-bedroom apartments, complete with fully-equipped kitchen, washing machine, dryer and ironing facilities, air conditioning and heating.

All apartments are priced to be affordable for mid-week and weekend getaways in the city or for interstate guests wanting an extended stay in Sydney. Parking is provided at a discounted rate at the nearby Kings Parking on Sussex Street.

A hallmark of all Metro Hospitality Group properties, a popular central city location ensures guests are within easy walking distance of Sydney’s attractions and business district.

Situated in the heart of Sydney directly across from Darling Harbour, Metro Apartments Darling Harbour is a popular choice for discerning tourists from both at home and abroad eager to find comfortable, affordable accommodation located in close proximity to all major attractions.

Head west from your apartment and you’ll find yourself at King Street Wharf and Cockle Bay, popular precincts on the shores of Darling Harbour. Enjoy a cocktail in one of the many boutique bars, a meal in one of the harbourside restaurants, or a 3D movie at IMAX. Play tourist at Sydney Aquarium, Wildlife World or Australian Maritime Museum, or stroll across the footbridge to try your luck at The Star casino.

If you are looking for world-class shopping, walk east from your apartment and into Sydney’s retail heart, with the Queen Victoria Building, Westfield Sydney and flagship David Jones and Myer stores all a short stroll from your front door.

For unique Asian food and culture, head south to Sydney’s Little Japan, Little Korea and ThaiTown. Be sure to sample Yum Cha or a Chinese banquet from the huge array of restaurants in Sydney’s Chinatown, then keep walking through to the Entertainment Precinct and take in a show at the historic Capitol Theatre.

For sightseeing, head north beside the sandstone walls of the Hungry Mile and Barangaroo, recently marked for redevelopment. Stop at one of the beautiful harbourside cafes at Jones Street Wharf then continue around the harbour foreshore to The Rocks, a must to explore before venturing on to the Opera House and Botanic Gardens. This historic walk will show you the real Sydney but be warned – it is also popular for late-night ghost tours.

Located in two separate buildings in Sussex and King Streets, Metro Apartments Darling Harbour offers a selection of 40 one-bedroom apartments. While the Sussex Street building offers larger, contemporary-styled apartments with views over Darling Harbour, the King Street building has a more exclusive, intimate appeal.
With only nine apartments and a rooftop pool for the exclusive use of guests, King Street is perfect for those seeking a quiet getaway and the feel of being in a world class city with all the comforts of home. Stroll out onto your New York style private balcony to complete the picture and watch the cityscape below while contemplating your next direction.

Lay Your Weary Head at Metro Hotel Sydney Central

Always looking for a hotel when I'm in the city, for the night which is generally quite often for a myriad of occasions, I often book myself into the Metro Hotel Sydney Central.

Due to its location you couldn't ask for more. It is situated directly across from The Capitol Theatre and is moments away from some of the best attractions Sydney has to offer, such as Darling Harbour, Chinatown, Paddy's Market and World Square, where you, if like me, will leave with much less money in your purse then when you walked in. Now, if only you had someone to help carry those shopping bags back to the room!

Rooms have been recently refurbished and for this night, I stayed in a Double Deluxe room which was exactly what I needed for this little night out in the big smoke as they say. Come to think of it, I have always wondered who 'They' are. Haven't you?

To my surprise there is a pool on the rooftop where you can simply sit back and soak up the sun and relax for the few moments you have (or in my case 3 minutes). Yet, still it's nice to know that in a big city such as this you can find a pool to chill out and take it all in.

The restaurant is only opened for breakfast and this is probably due to so many eateries surrounding the area. You are quite spoiled for choice. To start your night off, I highly recommend The Palace Hotel which is a pub I found across the road in a mall next to Capitol Theatre.The food was amazing!

Metro Hotel Sydney Central Completes Major Refurbishment - Metro Hotels

Metro Hotel Sydney Central, Metro Hospitality Group’s flagship property on the corner of Pitt and Campbell Streets in the heart of Sydney, will complete a two year refurbishment this month that has seen a complete upgrade of its rooms, pool, restaurant terrace and guest lifts. 

The completion of the refurbishment means the hotel now offers 220 Superior and Deluxe rooms, with its former Standard rooms phased out. The higher standard of guest accommodation is expected to further strengthen the hotel’s appeal with the overseas tourism market. The hotel currently receives 30 percent of its business from international guests through overseas wholesalers and inbound operators. 

The first stage of the refurbishment, completed in 2012, saw accommodation of four of the hotel’s 10 floors and the rooftop pool area receive an extensive makeover, followed by the revitalisation of the guest lifts and restaurant terrace. The final stage, finished this month, has seen the remaining six floors of accommodation upgraded. The hotel is now 100 percent smoke free. 

Metro Hotel Sydney Central General Manager Sandra Calabretta said the end of the extensive renovations will mark an exciting time for the hotel as it will allow it to fully maximise its potential with both the domestic and international markets. 

“It is wonderful to know we can now offer all our guests a superior standard of accommodation while still ensuring our rooms at priced at an affordable point,” Ms Calabretta said. “We are confident our new accommodation offering along with the hotel’s central location in the heart of Sydney’s entertainment precinct will be a major drawcard for international visitors. 

“We have received very positive feedback from guests on the changes made, and now can concentrate on what we do best, offering our guests superior accommodation and facilities matched by outstanding customer service.” 

Metro Hotel Sydney Central is situated directly opposite the Capitol Theatre and is a short walk from Sydney’s major attractions, including Chinatown, Paddy’s Market, Cockle Bay, the Queen Victoria Building and the popular King Street Wharf.

Renovations to Metro Apartments Bank Place Nearing Completion

Metro Hospitality Group will shortly complete major renovations to its boutique Melbourne property, Metro Apartments Bank Place, in a bid to maintain its reputation for providing stylish yet affordable inner city accommodation.

Commencing in September 2012, with completion towards the end of May 2013, the renovations include the installation of new kitchens and bathrooms in all apartments as well as new lighting, carpeting and furnishings.

According to George Bedwani, Chief Operating Officer of Metro Hospitality Group, this particular property continues to defy the economic climate, maintaining strong occupancy despite a downturn in leisure and corporate travel to Melbourne over the last few years.

“The Apartments are very popular and enjoy significant repeat business, largely due to their central location and competitive rates,” he said.

Metro Apartments on Bank Place attracts leisure and corporate interstate visitors, as well as the regional Victorian leisure market. The Apartments also appeal to Melbournians looking for unique weekend accommodation for the opportunity to experience the vibrant soul of their own city.

The Apartments are located in a unique 100-year old Victorian building complete with rough hewn bluestone façade, in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD.  The chic exterior and surrounds are complimented by the interior’s understated style, quality furnishings and fittings.

The 46 studio and one-bedroom apartments all feature Queen sized beds, contemporary furniture and sleek grey and glass ensuites.  The suites include a fully equipped kitchen and laundry so guests can self-cater.

A hallmark of all Metro Hospitality Group properties, a popular central city location ensures guests are within easy walking distance of Melbourne’s attractions and business districts. Nearby trams and train stations allow guests to easily navigate Melbourne’s outer suburbs.
