The Idea

Gemba supported St.George in the execution of the 2022 AHA Pub Design Tour which showcased three transformed pubs which have created uniquely memorable interior spaces. This year guests visited the Riley Hotel in Darlinghurst, The Woolly Bay Hotel in Woolloomooloo, and Shell House in the CBD.  

Guests enjoyed a taste of what each venue had to offer from the South American inspired cocktail bar menu of the Riley Hotel to the Mediterranean style canapes from Woolly Bay Hotel. Representatives from each venue took part in a Q&A delving into on topics including the inspiration and meaning behind interior design choices and the historical significance of the venues and how heritage listed elements impacted the process of renovations. 

We heard from industry specialists Harris Kospetas, CEO of Universal Hotels, Arthur Laundy, owner of Laundy Hotels alongside Justine Laundy, Creative Director and Nick Tindall, Operations Manager of the venue renovations and Brett Robinson, CEO of The Point Group.
