Coinciding with its 90th birthday this year, Accor Vacation Club’s Grand Mercure in Flinders Lane Melbourne, recently underwent a $4.3 million refurbishment — featuring GWA Bathrooms & Kitchens fixtures.
The building's heritage has been captured through the retention of the original detailed cornice, architraves and skirtings, which have been blended with contemporary designer furniture and fittings in conjunction with modern appliances.
GWA Bathrooms and Kitchens, supplied a full schedule of fittings including kitchen tapware and sinks, bathroom basins, tapware, showers, baths, toilet suites and other bathroom accessories for the development, which were selected for their water and energy efficiency.
"The range of GWA products suited our designer's brief, of stylish and ultra-upmarket, but at the same time practical, friendly to the environment and to facilitate efficiencies for the hotel, and to be user friendly," commented Darin Nielson, Senior Property Manager, Accor Vacation Club.
The Caroma Metro Fall Faced Toilet Suite and the Caroma Liano 430 Under Counter Basin are featured in the bathrooms, as well as the new Dorf Jovian Rail Showers. This is matched with the Dorf Jovian Basin and mixers and bathroom accessories for an integrated look throughout.
The kitchens also feature the Dorf Jovian Sink Mixer, which is paired with the Clark Razor Sink.
Mr Cameron Reed, GWA Bathrooms & Kitchens Sales Manager for Sustainability, Healthcare and Government in Victoria said, “The result of the refurbishment has turned the apartment hotel into contemporary range of sophisticated suites that infuse modern design philosophies with the architectural and historical heritage of the building, and our state of the art fittings and fixtures.”
