Sydney’s former Tank Stream Hotel is now operating as Rydges Australia Square, following a major transformation project.
The CBD hotel has been reimagined under Rydges’ ‘refreshingly local’ ethos, with interior design led by the EVT Design team and IGB Berhad, the owners of the property.
All 280 guest rooms, across 15 floors, have been refurbished; a new Executive Boardroom has been added, and ground floor lobby areas have been updated with the addition of check-in kiosks.
“We have been excitedly waiting to launch Rydges Australia Square and showcase the remarkable transformation of this hotel in its iconic Sydney location,” said EVT Hotels and Resorts Director, Norman Arundel.
“The stylish lobby, new wine bar, and our expanded event and conferencing facilities will provide a unique hotel offering for guests and Sydneysiders.”
“Our team, led by General Manager Rebecca Hamey, have worked in close collaboration with the hotel’s owners to bring Rydges’ signature style while ensuring we honour the vibrant energy of the surrounding area.
“We look forward to welcoming both new and returning guests to experience this refreshed and reimagined property.”
Guest rooms have been designed to reflect the culture of Sydney while providing a modern, comfortable stay for both business and leisure travellers.
The hotel’s upgraded facilities include contemporary wine bar, Poco Local Wine Bar, which will serve up coffees and pastries in the morning, followed by Italian bites and world-class wines for lunch and dinner. Le Petit Flot restaurant will serve up French cuisine for breakfast and dinner.
The newly built Executive Boardroom room can welcome up to 14 and private dining is available for up to 25 people.
The January 23 launch of Rydges Australia Square marks the 45th property in the growing Rydges portfolio across Australia and New Zealand.
