Ms Mackenzie says she anticipates Hotel Chadstone will attract guests travelling for business and leisure across Victoria and around Australia.

“We anticipate a large response from international travellers, with over half a million international guests visiting Chadstone each year. We also expect strong bookings in the hotel’s weddings, conference and events spaces,” she says.

“Chadstone’s onsite offices are home to more than 17 international and national businesses and with Monash University and Monash Medical Centre close by, Hotel Chadstone sits in a major metropolitan centre in southeastern Melbourne’s business education, science, health and retail districts with 75,000 workers.”
