Rydges replaces Sebel in Surry Hills
The Schwartz Family Group has appointed Rydges Hotels & Resorts to manage its Surry Hills Sydney hotel
The 4-star hotel has operated as the Sebel Surry Hills since 2008, and has been managed by Accor for the past two years.
From April 8, the 271-room hotel will be re-branded as Rydges Sydney Central.
It was, and still is, Australia’s first hotel to feature an in-ground glass aquarium.
Director of the Schwartz Family Company, Dr. Jerry Schwartz, said that with Sebel becoming an apartment-style brand, it was decided to change the hotel branding to Rydges and ‘hub’ the hotel with his other Rydges-managed hotel, at nearby World Square.
"The two hotels will benefit from working more closely together, as both are large hotels with major conferencing facilities and a strong domestic market," said Dr Schwartz.
