AHL has taken over popular boutique establishment Urban St Kilda in Melbourne, rebranding it a Rydges Hotel.
“After refreshing the Rydges brand midway through this year with a new look, feel and service offering coupled with free WiFi, it is great to expand the hotel chain in the Melbourne market with Rydges St Kilda,” said David Seargeant, Group Managing Director of AHL.
