Crown Metropol is a new hotel about to embark on Melbourne, which promises to be distinctive, fresh, vibrant and unmistakably modern. The 27 level hotel features a unique wave-live shape, and 658 available rooms all with plenty of space and natural light.

The Crown Metropol’s level 27 will be dedicated to its spa, pool and world-class gymnasium, providing Melbourne’s only sky-high spa, relaxation and rejuvenation floor.

Working with the site contractor, Expoconti, Rondo will supply metal products for the project, provide design work, and conduct weekly site inspections.

The Rondo products used in the project includes staggered stud wall systems in the wet areas, chase wall systems between rooms and our KEY-LOCK^® suspension system for all ceilings.

Rondo’s technical expertise significantly benefited the project by simplifying some of the designs which inturn provided a more cost effective approach for our customer.

Rondo would like to make a special mention to Baulderstone Hornibrook and Expoconti for giving Rondo the opportunity to supply our products and work together on the project. Special thanks also to our Technical Department for all their hard work.
