Holiday Inn to open in Melbourne’s Richmond in 2023
A new-build Holiday Inn will open in the inner-Melbourne suburb of Richmond in 2023, following the signing of a long-term management agreement between IHG and a joint venture between Pelligra Group, PrimeLand Group and Diamond Hospitality Singapore.
The 160-room hotel will be part of a mixed-use development and will feature an all-day dining venue and bar, lounge area and business centre.
“Not only is Richmond a great destination for sports fans, it boasts a number of demand drivers in the technology, health and education space, and we are confident this hotel will be a favourite with corporate, event and VFR travellers,” said Abhijay Sandilya, IHG’s VP of Development.
This is the second hotel signed between IHG and Pelligra Group, with Holiday Inn Melbourne Werribee also scheduled to open in early 2021.
“Richmond has undergone a transformation over the past few decades, gentrifying to become one of Melbourne’s trendier suburbs with fantastic retail, great restaurants in the popular Little Saigon area, and the iconic MCG, Rod Laver Arena and Richmond Football Club on the doorstep,” said Ross Pelligra, chairman of Pelligra Group.
