Regent returning to Australia and new InterContinentals in Australia

A typo on my part - many MPs don't stay in hotels. The staffers and lobbyists is a different matter.
Given their travel allowance is paid when they stay in a property they own why would they (MPs)?

It’s probably changed a bit now but there are some generous allowances in the public service, during my ATC training in the Melbourne CBD at Henry house I got an excess travel time allowance which was generous given I lived and worked at Tullamarine previously. Was then posted to Sydney and got a travel allowance until I checked out successfully from the final training.

I stayed at Crowne Plaza Melbourne a couple of months ago and was pleasantly surprised by the newly renovated place. Given the current IC will become Regent in 2030, I would expect CP to go through another round of renovation to match IC's standards?

A bit disappointed to see no mention of IC Adelaide cuz that place really needs some touch-up.

They will probably sell the IC Adelaide to Accor and it will become a Sofitel!

I stayed at the Adelaide Sofitel during new year and it was great, except for the indoor pool, a bit small with no view. I don't think Accor will have a 2nd Sofitel in Adelaide or want to close the current one considering how new it is.

But IC Adelaide building has that grand hotel vibe, it could be a nice home for Park Hyatt if renovated properly considering its location and view.

Sorry, forgot about the Adelaide Sofitel.
