distinct stages
Cabramatta Hotel was established in 1888 – a ‘third place’ for people from dozens of different cultures and nations for more than 100 years.
Over time, its popularity outgrew its interiors, and its owner, Redcape Hotel Group, realised that a radical overhaul was needed.
The objective: to transform Cabramatta Hotel into a premier destination for foodies, sports fans, and people seeking a VIP gaming experience.
As a popular hospitality venue, Cabramatta Hotel needed to preserve the customer experience during construction.
The hotel couldn’t shut down during delivery – but, at the same time, the refurbishment still needed to be completed in a timely manner that minimised opportunity costs.
To offset impacts on revenue, we adopted a two-stage construction methodology that saw different parts of the hotel refurbished at different times.
We kept the Redcape Hotel Group team apprised of progress through weekly on-site meetings and cloud-based documentation-sharing.
The revitalised Cabramatta Hotel exceeded expectations.
The ‘Dragons’ Den’ VIP gaming room, bar, foyer, sports bar, entry, courtyard, and restrooms were wholly reconfigured and refurbished, helping align the hotel with modern consumer behaviours.
Importantly, we helped mitigate impacts on regular patrons by coordinating a temporary gaming room.
To unlock the hotel’s new potential, we also managed the development of a new kitchen and 150-person dining room.
