Crowne Plaza Coogee Honoured for Excellence at the 2021 HM Awards

Crowne Plaza in Coogee has been recognised for Hotel and Accommodation Excellence at the 2021 HM Awards. The award honours the best in the hospitality industry across Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.

James Wilkinson, the awards’ chief judge and founder, said that this year’s recognition was particularly meaningful amidst the “most challenging in history for the Australasian accommodation industry” due to the pandemic.

“I’m proud to say the entries this year – from chefs to housekeepers, five-star resorts and apartment hotels – were incredible and it was terrific to see so many staff and properties highlight so many achievements in challenging times,” Mr Wilkinson said.

“The quality of the winners and highly commended recipients – a full list can be found below – represents some of the industry’s finest and well done to everyone in 2021 across Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.”

Other hotels which shared the honour are Coral Sea Resort in Arlie Beach, Ovolo The Valley in Brisbane, and the Little National Hotel in Sydney.

Crowne Plaza in Coogee is currently under renovation and has completed Stage 2 of the project that involved the refurbishment of 209 rooms, the lobby, and the addition of meeting rooms and event spaces.

New General Manager

The win for Crowne Plaza in Coogee comes as the hotel welcomed its new General Manager, Melinda Lampier and new Director of Sales and Marketing, Benjamin Ferry.

Both executives boast of extensive experience in the hospitality industry as Ms Lampier had senior roles in IHG and Starwood’s group of hotels in NSW, Victoria, Vietnam and Thailand. Born in Bondi, the new boss said that she’s very passionate about Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.

“I am a beach lover and this role which sees me return to my roots to help promote one of the most recognised seaside Sydney properties is a career favourite for me.”

Ferry, on the other hand, also worked with IHG in territories like Japan, the Middle East, and the South Pacific.

Crowne Plaza Sydney Coogee Beach Unveils Meeting Package with Free Drinks

Have you missed talking business at a fancy and relaxing venue during the lockdowns? Now that Sydney-siders are returning to in-person meetings, Crowne Plaza Sydney Coogee Beach launched a special deal for professionals who would rather ditch Zoom and revive negotiating and communicating face-to-face.

In effect until 30 June 2021, Monday meetings, brainstorming and collaborations booked at the Crowne Plaza Sydney Coogee Beach will include free drinks and a free room hire during the happy hour.

The hotel, which underwent a redesign in 2020, has heaps of flexible business rooms equipped with state-of-the-art audiovisual technology, including live streaming, to make talking business so much more productive.

The Studio on the ground floor is a collaborative space for holding workshops or a business lunch with 12 people. This venue has a boardroom table and a well-curated library with living room seating to also double as a shared workspace for groups.

On the same level as the Studio is the Oceanic Ballroom, spanning 360 square metres, which can be used for large events or divided into two smaller spaces for intimate gatherings.

On the lower ground floor is the purposely-built Events Centre where there are eight separate rooms with full amenities for conferences. During the redevelopment of the hotel, the Centennial Conference Room, a fixture of Sydney events, was also expanded and then divided to separate meeting rooms.

Meanwhile, the lower ground floor has a new space called the Experience Gallery, where art exhibits or business trade shows may be mounted. To take advantage of the happy hour offer for Monday meetings, mention the Day Delegate Package when booking or email reservations.crowneplazacoogee@ihg.com for enquiries.

Crowne Plaza Sydney Coogee Beach will soon start with the second phase of its redesign to include changes in the guest rooms, the pool area and the hotel exterior.
