The group’s multi-million dollar refurbishment, in the nation’s hot spot for hotel investment and development, will be a welcome upgrade to more than 20,000guests who walk through the doors of the popular coastal hotel each year.

The relaunch of the landmark hotel, following the redevelopment of the Esplanade street frontage, was officiated with a ribbon cutting ceremony by the Premier of Western Australia Hon. Colin Barnett together with Lucas Chow, CEO of Far East Orchard, Allan Vidor Group Managing Director of Toga Group, Arthur Kiong, CEO of Far East Hospitality and Rachel Argaman, CEO of TFE Hotels. To celebrate the occasion, key guests were treated to a cocktail event showcasing WA’s finest produce.

A highlight for chocolate lovers was the revelation of a 1.5 metre high chocolate sculpture made by Sisko Chocolate Founder and Director, Christina Tantsis and celebrity chef Ian Burch, pastry-mastermind behind Melbourne's ‘Burch & Purchese’. The innovative coastal inspired sculpture, representing the sea, was made using French and Spanish couverture chocolate in both moulds and freehand designs.
