Rydges St Kilda marks the start of a big year for AHL, with the chain set to launch Atura Albury on January 30, Atura Dandenong in February and QT Bondi in the third quarter of 2015.

-Free WiFi for all guests, whether visiting overnight or just for a coffee;
-A new ‘Rise Breakfast’ concept, which takes a nod from nutritionist recommendations around a healthful breakfast being the most important meal of the day. While still buffet-style in nature, the Rise Breakfast includes freshly-squeezed juice shots, made to order smoothies and juice blends, super healthy cereals and fresh fruit as well as a great range of hot options including eggs cooked to individual preference.
