Refurbishment still on the Menu for Scenic Hotel Group

Refurbishment still on the Menu for Scenic Hotel Group

Refurbishment and local investment continue for the country’s largest New Zealand owned and operated hotel chain, despite global economic gloom. Over $10 million was invested in refurbishing many of the Group’s 15 properties across New Zealand last year, and that looks set to continue in the year ahead.

Scenic Hotel Group recently upgraded all rooms of Scenic Hotel Dunedin City. Flat screen televisions have been installed in every room along with dedicated media hubs providing seamless access to the hotel’s high speed, uncapped internet.

The signature ‘Scenic bedding system’ has also been adopted throughout the property. The bedding, all of which is produced in New Zealand, features the divine wool and down mattress toppers, organic cotton sheeting, feather and down duvets and pillow menu.

Earlier this year the top floor of Scenic Hotel Dunedin City was renovated into the Executive Floor, featuring suites and superior rooms with the highest level of fittings, furnishings and fixtures. The bespoke wool carpets from this floor have been carried through into the rest of the hotel, featuring original design and colours created specifically for the property.

Two accommodation wings and the public areas of Scenic Hotel Franz Josef Glacier also underwent a comprehensive renovation late last year. The refurbishment incorporated the Scenic bedding system and upgraded fixtures and fittings to all rooms while a complete renovation of the public areas streamlining the foyer, restaurant and bar has improved service flows and guest experience. A fresh new colour scheme sympathetic to the natural surroundings has brought the property up to a very high standard.

Stage Two of the hotel’s refurbishment will see the sleek, modern colours and design extended through to the remaining hotel wings. This will be the first time in the hotel’s history that a comprehensive, seamless décor and design has been carried throughout the entire property. Work is expected to be completed by October 2012.

Keeping with the Group’s dedication to its regional communities, local contractors and service providers are being employed for all refurbishments wherever possible.
