Tuesday, 28 July 1998: Melbourne�s largest integrated hotel
and entertainment complex outside the central business district is set
to open officially, 29 July 1998, at Glen Waverley in the city�s
eastern suburbs.
Forming an integral part of the new Century City Walk entertainment complex, Novotel Glen Waverley is the first international hotel to open in the area and will provide accommodation, conference and dining facilities for the rapidly growing range of businesses established in the eastern suburbs. Companies operating in the eastern corridor leading up to Dandenong include NEC, Hewlett Packard, Konica, Mercedes BMW, Bayer, Bosch, Sony and the Body Shop. Monash University is also close to the new Novotel. At present, corporate travellers have to stay in motel-style accommodation or commute some 45 - 60 minutes from the city centre. The Novotel offers state of the art in-room technology and safety, including direct-dial modem connections, voicemail and private safe. Guests also have access to the indoor heated swimming pool, with gym and saunas. A major attraction of the Novotel will be its ability to offer highly
versatile meeting and function facilities. The hotel itself has a ballroom
and three meeting rooms capable of hosting conferences for over 300 delegates,
but in addition the hotel will work with the Century City Walk complex�s
cinemas and theme restaurants to offer a comprehensive and creative range
of meeting and function styles.
The Novotel is part of the Century City walk entertainment, which also comprises themed restaurants, a ten-screen cinema complex with two Gold Class theatres, and an Intencity interactive centre. Novotel Glen Waverley is Accor�s 6th hotel in Melbourne and the 17th Novotel in Australia.
