AccorHotels has invested in its Novotel Wollongong Northbeach property, refitting all 204 rooms and suites at the 4-start hotel with what it calls a "relaxed beach vibe."

The Wollongong hotel, located along Grand Pacific Drive, now features new modern furniture in neutral tones, on trend lighting, new mattresses and bedding. The hotel's rooms offer uninterrupted ocean views or mountain views, thanks to new glass balustrades.

The upgrade also involved new bathrooms and a well-designed lighting scheme with mirrors to create a sense of space.

Novotel Wollongong Northbeach general manager Steve Savic said all of the rooms are now complete, in time for the summer season. The hotel is offering rates priced from $209 per night to celebrate its new look.
