Crowne Plaza Coogee Beach is getting closer to being back in business with the first phase of its redesign to be completed this month.

The opening stage of the project included half of the guest rooms, a new lobby and arrival experience and the Studio – an area which can be used either as a private meeting or event space or as social shared work space.

The hotel’s Area General Manager, Gareth Long, said the plan was to put the hotel firmly back on the business radar with a purpose-built events centre, 10 new flexible meetings spaces, state-of-the-art technology and new event dining concepts and menus.

“In terms of location, the Crowne Plaza Sydney Coogee Beach is second to none. What we can now offer guests is much more flexibility when it comes to staying here on business, with upgraded technology, smarter use of our social spaces and responding better to the changing ways in which people do business,” he said.

“We’ve been buoyed by the amount of interest and excitement in our new meeting spaces and offerings, and we’re already seeing strong interest coming through for 2020 and beyond.”

All of the 10 meeting spaces have been modernised and provide more than 1,175 square metres of space for corporate business meetings, executive board meetings, social events, private dinners or cocktail functions up to 400 guests.

The rooms will also have the latest in Audio Visual built-in and have multi-room connectivity giving meeting planners the ability to livestream content to all rooms simultaneously.

On the ground floor, the Oceanic Ballroom is the largest event space at 360 square metres, which splits in two for smaller event spaces in the Oceanic East and Oceanic West spaces.

Also on the ground floor is the Studio, a new bookable space for impromptu meetings, collaborative workshops or private dining for 12. 

Located within the lobby, it can be booked from one hour to one day and offers living room seating, a boardroom table with integrated power sockets for easy connectivity, and a curated library.

When not in use, the Studio can be used by hotel guests as a shared work space, library or casual place to meet.

The Business Centre Boardroom, also on the ground floor, is a light-filled intimate space for meetings up to eight people.

The lower ground floor has been completely transformed into a purpose-built dedicated Events Centre with the space dividing into eight separate rooms and an extensive AV fit-out throughout all the conference rooms.

The Centennial Conference Room has been extended to 217 square metres and can be divided into three separate rooms.

The Coogee Room has also been extended and can divide in to three separate rooms, while the Bronte Room (67sqm) and Clovelly Room (75sqm) have been extended.

Other features of lower ground floor include the new Experience Gallery, an integrated and flexible space that aims to inspire guests with a mix of timeless tradition and progressive trends via local art and design.

Event planners can use the space as an exhibition and trade area, day or evening catering space or for ad-hoc breakout meetings. 

Phase Two of the re-design is scheduled to commence after Easter and includes the remainder of the guestrooms, the hotel exterior and the pool area.
