EVENT hotels are offering 7, 14 and 21 day Home Away from Home long-stays to accommodate the new and unique needs of today's hotel guests. Home Away from Home long stays include a complimentary room upgrade, late check-out, daily linen and bathroom amenities, dedicated desk and working space and complimentary fast Wi-Fi.

Designed for essential travel or for those who need to self-isolate, Home Away from Home stays ensure those who need this service can do so in comfort and style, knowing that while the experience will be different to normal, it will continue to reflect the standards guests know and value.

As part of its Home Away from Home initiative in-room dining has been adapted, with new specially prepared menus offering access to delicious food from signature hotel restaurants delivered in-room as well as fresh linen and amenity menus, mini-bars packed with easy snacks, tea and coffee facilities and special arrangements to support in-room delivery of groceries and care packages.

In addition, Rydges, QT and Atura have adjusted usual processes in line with current health advice including contactless check in, physical distancing and contactless room service - but that doesn't mean staff are ever far away, they are still on hand to make every stay the best it can be.

Norman Arundel, Event Hospitality & Entertainment's Director of Hotels and Resorts said: “While these are unprecedented times and we are operating in a climate that is very different to what we are used to, it is important that we continue to deliver the finest hospitality experience to our valued guests.

“Our teams recognise that while many Australians are staying home in line with official advice, there are people who need accommodation for essential business or to self-isolate. We are still open and we have worked hard to provide a safe and comfortable home away from home, delivering the high standard of service our guests have come to expect and love from our award-winning brands.”
