Travelodge Hotel Westmead

New Travelodge hotel for Australia’s largest health precinct

TFE Hotels and Drill Management Pty Ltd have announced a new Travelodge Hotel will be built as part of the multi-million-dollar West Grove development in Sydney’s western suburbs.

The 100-room hotel, which is expected to open in 2023, will sit at the gateway to Westmead’s Health Precinct, and fill an important gap in the market – servicing both the hospital and medical industries as well as nearby corporates.

TFE Hotels’ CEO Antony Ritch, said TFE was proud to partner with Drill and introduce the Travelodge Hotels brand into Australia’s largest health and innovation precinct.

“Not only will the Travelodge Westmead debut a fresh new interior design with warm timber and earthy tones,” he said. “But, in partnership with the West Grove development, it will deliver long-term benefits as the thriving Westmead community continues to grow.”

The hotel’s proximity to the Westmead Hospital will also provide a comfortable and convenient midscale accommodation option for patients and their families at a time when they need it most. According to Ritch, Travelodge guests can expect to see a contemporary-look and feel when it comes to design that will elevate Travelodge’s traditional brand offering. Led by one of the world’s leading design studios, Chada, the hotel will feature simple yet stylish interiors throughout including the rooms, sixth level lobby, eatery and bar.

“Chada had studied the market mix and are committed to providing our guests with hotels rooms they’ll want to spend time in, and flexible relaxation and workspaces for modern travellers,” Ritch said.

According to Mark Hovey, CEO of Drill Pty Ltd, the Travelodge Hotel is a key component of the West Grove development.

“Drill are the first to introduce this option within the Westmead Health Precinct, so it fills an important gap within the overall district offering,” he said. “At the moment, if you are family living outside Greater Sydney and your child or other family member is transferred to Westmead, your only options for hotel accommodation are 15 minutes away. At West Grove you will be just metres away.”

Hovey said West Grove would become the future heart of the Westmead Health and Innovation Precinct for health care professionals as well as local and regional visitors. Central design features include a lush, landscaped courtyard space activated with restaurants, cafes and bars.

Construction on the hotel is expected to start in 2021.

Melbourne approves mixed-use mecca for 2021 construction

The City of Melbourne’s Future Melbourne Committee has approved a new $600 million development venture that will be built on Maribyrnong River. A boutique hotel has been approved as part of the development, but no operator is attached just yet. WMW Developments will run with the project, working with developer Perri Projects and architects Foster and Partners and Fender Katsalidi. The staged development is pencilled in for 2026 completion.

Someone has been busy during lockdown…

A former Sunshine Coast motel has been reborn as a chic boutique hotel with a touch of glam. Loea Boutique Hotel is a stunning new example of ‘everything old is new again’.

Located opposite the Maroochy River on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, the property has undergone a renovation of epic proportions, taking what was a conventional motel-style accommodation off ering and transforming it into an ontrend chic boutique hotel.

Loea off ers double, twin and family rooms, the décor inspired by ‘warm breezy beach days’. Think a soft white colour palett e, locally sourced ratt an furniture, brass fi xtures and luxury bed linen. But while Loea is fresh and modern, they have not forgott en their classic roots.

Onsite guests are greeted with a vintage food truck van-comereception serving up locally sourced food supplied by Gather by Bonnie and a range of hot, cold and alcoholic drinks as well as a friendly welcome. There is also classic white cruiser bikes available for guests to use at their leisure, perfect for exploring the Maroochy River as you take the pathway to nearby Cott on Tree.

Loea is owned by Andrew and Lucy Pink, who upon

relocating to the Sunshine Coast from the UK realised a gap in the market for boutique hotel-style accommodation. The result is a culmination of Andrew’ background in the hotel industry and their shared passion for travel and design.

Features of the property include a luxe outdoor magnesium pool surrounded by a communal alfresco lounge area and garden, local organic skincare products in the room, a private outdoor deck for each suite and the vintage food van on site off ering coff ee, alcoholic beverages and delicious brunch, grazing and dessert platt ers available for pre-order.

This is complemented by the litt le luxuries you come to expect at places like Loea, such as free wifi throughout, king size beds with luxury linen bedding, quality toiletries, free onsite parking, tea and coff ee making facilities and air conditioning.

Visit Sunshine Coast Interim CEO Craig Davidson said renovations such as the one at Loea gave travellers fresh new reason to visit the Sunshine Coast.

“New products and experiences are an important part of keeping up with consumer demand,” he said.

“They provide fresh incentive for visitors to stay longer and spend more, entice new visitors to the region and encourage return travellers to try something new.”
