EVT Hotels and Resorts has revealed the latest Rydges hotel transformation following an extensive refurbishment of a Port Macquarie property.

Rydges Port Macquarie, positioned on the waterfront of Hastings River, features nine transformed room types – including King and Twin, Superior and Deluxe King and Twin, Accessible King Rooms, and Family and Deluxe Family Interconnecting Rooms – and a fresh lobby space.

The hotel’s modern design, in line with Rydges’ broader portfolio transformation, reflects its natural, coastal surroundings.

“Rydges Port Macquarie’s newly transformed rooms are the perfect choice for families to enjoy a coastal getaway, a refreshing road-trip pit stop, or those who are looking to test out the regional hub of the Mid North Coast,” said EVT Hotels and Resorts Group General Manager, Callum Kennedy.

“Centrally located, guests can stroll to the vibrant CBD with waterfront bars, boutiques, theatres and galleries. These upgraded rooms also perfectly complement our conferencing and event offerings, such as weddings, parties, business meetings and residential conferencing.

“After a day of exploration or meetings, guests can unwind and relax at the property’s heated pool and spa, and enjoy their beautifully styled rooms and amenities, some with stunning water views.”

Targeting both leisure and corporate guests, the hotel features seven conference and event spaces, including a waterfront ballroom; a heated pool and spa on the first floor overlooking Hastings River; and Zebu Bar and Restaurant, which serves up modern Italian fare.
