The renovation plan also includes an upgrade of the existing exhibition space at the hotel, installation of a new large-scale commercial kitchen, and establishment of a permanent marquee on the grounds.
To become the centre of operations for the Schwartz Family’s Sydney Brewing Company, Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley will also feature a 300 square metre brewery, micro distillery, and cellar door, which will be constructed as part of the hotel’s main complex.
Besides that the renovation also includes various other enhancements, which includes a soft refurbishment of Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley’s 150 hotel rooms and 169 two- and three-bedroom villas, improvements to the hotel’s 18-hole golf course, expansion of the kid’s club which has already received a children’s train and 22-horse carousel, an extension of the hotel’s Grapevine Bar and Restaurant, and new energy and water consumption infrastructure.
All upgrade work is scheduled to complete by the end of 2014.
