Holiday Inn Express Hotel – VIC

Head Builder: Hickory

POD Manufacturer: Sync

Architect(s)/Consultant(s): Reid Campbell

Project details:  
The Holiday Inn Express Hotel at Southbank features an extensive mixed use development with ground floor retail, 3 levels of above ground parking and 3 levels of offices. The hotel consists of 312 thoughtfully designed guest rooms whilst retaining the original 1930s City Road façade and its glazed terracotta faïence tiles, one of the few remaining Melbourne buildings to feature this distinctive art deco façade treatment.

Challenge:

Sitting on a smaller than average sized site with fast turnaround times required for the bathroom pod construction process, a tiling system with excellent workability and ease of application was needed.

Solution:

ARDEX were able to offer the complete tiling solution consisting of ARDEX X 17 tile adhesive and ARDEX FSDD grout. The 312 bathroom pods were integrated throughout every guest room in the hotel, and simply installed and connected once they arrive on site ensuring project scheduling was met.

Unique Elements:

ARDEX provided the tiling solution, accompanied by market leading service and technical support throughout the entire project. The project remained on schedule and guaranteed the products performance characteristics met the projects requirements.
