Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Chic Sydney Hotel is the Latest Project from Loh Lik Peng

— October 23, 2015 — World
Located in Chippendale, this Sydney hotel is the latest project from hospitality entrepreneur Loh Lik Peng. A busy urban area, Chippendale welcomes the new Sydney hotel into an area that is a stark contrast to the dreamy seaside Australian town one might imagine, with it situated between the University of Sydney and the Central Railway Station.

The Old Clare Hotel has 62 guest rooms, all of which are different sizes and feature differing decor themes. The Sydney hotel is made up of two heritage buildings that formerly housed a pub and an office. The interior of the hotel feels contemporary and industrial, with even "derelict" elements of the original architecture incorporated into the new hotel's personality.
Trend Themes
1. Heritage Building Re-use - Entrepreneurs could invest in re-purposing heritage sites to create profitable boutique lodgings that mix old-world charm with contemporary amenities.
2. Personalized Guest Experience - Hospitality professionals could focus on creating unique and personalized guest experiences by offering varied room sizes and decor themes that cater to different guests' preferences.
3. Industrial Chic Design - Interior designers may focus on incorporating 'derelict' elements of original architecture into contemporary designs to give hotels a modern yet industrial chic aesthetic.
Industry Implications
1. Hospitality - Entrepreneurs within the hospitality industry could utilize heritage sites and create unique guest experiences to differentiate themselves from competitors and appeal to travelers looking for a one-of-a-kind experience.
2. Real Estate - Real estate developers could focus on re-purposing heritage buildings to create boutique hotels, luxury vacation rentals, or even mixed-use developments that blend commercial and residential spaces.
3. Interior Design - Interior designers could find lucrative opportunities in transforming old buildings and incorporating industrial elements into modern designs to create unique aesthetic experiences for guests and residents alike.
