The ownership and management of the Avondale Hotel have embarked on a significant refurbishment project in collaboration with GROUPN to revitalize the venue and position it at the forefront of the hospitality market in Burwood. The project’s focus was on enhancing the hotel’s existing spaces and creating a premium gaming experience that would distinguish the venue in an increasingly competitive market.

The refurbishment included a full upgrade of the gaming and sports bar areas, along with improvements to the aesthetic appearance of the building’s façade and street presentation. These changes were designed to elevate the Avondale Hotel’s presence and align it with modern hospitality trends, providing spaces and facilities that cater to contemporary lifestyles.

One of the key challenges of the project was ensuring compliance with complex gaming regulations, as the entire gaming floor was classified as outdoor while occupying the ground floor of a three-storey building. Despite these challenges, the refurbishment succeeded in creating a fresh, inviting atmosphere that sets a new standard for the Burwood town precinct.

The renewal of the Avondale Hotel marks a new chapter for this historic venue, offering guests an elevated experience while maintaining its roots in the local community.
