Werribee gets first new look Holiday Inn

IHG has opened a new, purpose-built hotel in the heart of Werribee under its Holiday Inn brand. In an Australian-first for the brand, which has undergone a significant transformation over the past 18 months, the hotel features an innovative open lobby concept which re-imagines the traditional hotel reception floor to better reflect the needs and preferences of today’s traveller.

The hotel houses 150 guest rooms, along with meeting facilities and notable food and beverage with all-day-dining and locally-sourced menu items from an onsite bistro and bar. Guests can enjoy views over Werribee and towards the Melbourne skyline as they flexibly attend to work, unwind and catch-up on the day’s news and socialise in the multi-purpose lobby, or simply enjoy the sunset. The hotel’s General Manager, Preston Miskelly, said he was pleased to welcome the hotel’s first guests to the new facility:



“Reliably familiar, yet refreshingly different, Holiday Inn Werribee is a comfortable and inviting home away from home."




The new hotel will serve the fast-growing suburb of Werribee which offers world-class tourist attractions including the Werribee Open Range Zoo, Victorian State Rose Garden, Werribee Mansion, and the National Equestrian Centre. Its central location also puts it a short drive from Werribee Mercy Hospital and within walking distance of Watton Street, an emerging foodie hub. Flyer printing is a popular means of promoting tourist attractions.

The refreshed brand has plans for further local openings including new hotels in Queenstown, New Zealand and Melbourne’s Bourke Street Mall.
