Refurbishment is an exciting prospect filled with potential. It can also be fraught with challenges, predictable and unexpected. Undertaking that endeavour during a global pandemic only compounds those challenges.

The Trēo team used its extensive combined experience and vast network of contacts in FF&E internationally to complete the Pullman refurbishment with outstanding results. Innovation and collaboration across the project chain, from design to finish, enabled the team to overcome significant pressure points brought about by the COVID business environment.

Critically, as hotel owners ourselves, the Trēo team identified the challenges but also the opportunities the project presented. With their ‘insider’ hospitality knowledge, the team truly understands what works and what doesn’t in a refurbishment. Crucially, they recognised they could deliver refurbishment for better value and a superior construction standard than what is currently on offer in the marketplace. Consolidating the end-to-end FF&E process, leveraging technology and partnering with an extensive and diversified network of suppliers ensured the realisation of beautiful design coupled with superior cost control.

Refurbishing the Pullman Melbourne on the Park was a significant project delivered on budget and with added value creation ahead of time. The hotel operator (Accor) was delighted with the result, commenting that output quality was markedly superior compared to other luxury global projects. The refurbishment reflects the high-end mutually inclusive ambitions of the owners and operator, with the look and feel of a global luxury brand.
