Novotel Sydney City Centre unveils $20 million transformation
The 283-key Accor property, owned by the Salter Brothers, on York St has undergone a major redesign across all of its rooms to debut a sustainability led product, which is the first of its kind in the Australian market.
The room design, created by Novotel’s designers in Paris, is called ‘Hypothesis’ is based on a less waste ethos – both for the environment and in terms of minimising wasted space and time.
Other sustainability initiatives include a digital compendium, digital access to amenities like room service, removal of single use plastics, sustainably-minded bathroom products from Deep Nature and recycling bins in all rooms.
Some suites have partial view of Sydney Harbour while other suites and balcony rooms have views of Wynyard Park.
“We want guests to achieve the balance they seek during their stay,” said general manager of Novotel Sydney City Centre, Kim Stredder.
“Room furnishings are flexible allowing guests to customise their stays. We have created an environment that’s ideal for corporate travellers, families and couples. This level of dynamism in design will allow guests to truly create a home away from home, and an office away from the office.”
