Woodhead has worked with the team At Rydges Perth over a number of years and several refurbishment projects. The initial works, to convert an old office block into a vibrant hotel, followed Woodhead identifying the optimum performance potential of the property.
Ideally located in the centre of the CBD with views across the Swan River, the office block was converted in just 14 months. The hotel now features 243 rooms, six suites, restaurants and function rooms; all with a distinctive Western Australian character.
The design brief called for ‘contemporary and vibrant’ front-of-house facilities including lobby, reception, lounge and public areas, function room, business centre and restaurant. Conversely, guest rooms were to be a ‘home away from home’ for visitors.
While elegance and simplicity are formed through the creative use of colours in the front-of-house facilities, an ambiance of warmth and comfort is created in guest rooms through the use of timber and natural colours, finishes and furniture.
Woodhead continues a strong relationship with the client and has secured ongoing upgrades and refurbishments to the hotel. Subsequent commissions include; Rydges Executive club, Level one Terrace, and the ‘CBD’ bar and restaurant.
