Undergoing a complete transformation, the iconic Rydges Melbourne is reopening late Autumn 2023 and is on the hunt for a Guest Experience Specialist just as sharp as its brand-new look.
This is our flagship in the making; this is Rydges, reimagined. With a complete refurbishment of all 370 rooms, suites and apartments, signature restaurant and bar, eleven events spaces, a new rooftop terrace overlooking Her Majesty’s Theatre, interactive fitness centre and rooftop pool.
