The Rosemount Hotel, North Perth: Beer Works Fit Out

The Rosemount Hotel, a historic landmark in North Perth, has been a cornerstone of the community since its establishment in the 1920s. During a time of rapid urbanisation, the hotel quickly became a popular gathering place, blending hospitality with a sense of tradition. Over the decades, the Rosemount has managed to preserve its historic charm, serving as a symbol of continuity in a constantly evolving neighbourhood.

Challenges Faced by Our Client

As the hotel neared its 100th anniversary, the client faced significant challenges in maintaining the Rosemount’s relevance in a competitive and rapidly changing hospitality industry. The primary concern was the need to modernise the hotel’s offerings while preserving its historic appeal. To stay competitive, the Rosemount needed to seamlessly integrate modern amenities and services that meet contemporary guest expectations without losing the charm that made it a beloved landmark.

A critical issue was the hotel’s outdated electrical systems and equipment, which were no longer adequate to support its operations effectively. The ageing infrastructure posed safety and efficiency concerns, making it essential to undertake a comprehensive overhaul. The challenge was not only to replace these systems but also to design a modern solution that optimised the hotel’s use of space and resources, aligning with the client’s evolving needs.

Objectives

The modernisation of the Rosemount Hotel centred around three key objectives:

  • Modernisation: Revamp the outdated electrical systems and equipment to meet current technological standards and support the hotel’s operations for the future.
  • Energy Efficiency: Reduce energy consumption to lower operational costs.
  • Sustainability: Create a sustainable operational model by enhancing energy efficiency and reducing the hotel’s carbon footprint, aligning with modern environmental standards.

Solutions Implemented

To transform the Rosemount Hotel into a contemporary yet historically significant venue, several strategic upgrades were made. The outdated electrical systems were replaced with state-of-the-art, energy-efficient alternatives. Advanced lighting systems were installed to enhance both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the hotel, creating a more inviting atmosphere. The integration of Zen Wired/Wireless DALI control systems provided flexibility in managing lighting and energy use, allowing the hotel to cater to various occasions and patron preferences.

Outcomes Achieved

Cablewise successfully revitalised the Rosemount Hotel’s infrastructure, delivering a modern, energy-efficient, and sustainable electrical system. These improvements not only enhanced operational efficiency but also enriched the overall guest experience. The Rosemount Hotel now stands as a model of how historic landmarks can embrace innovation to thrive in today’s competitive hospitality landscape, preserving its heritage while meeting the demands of the modern era.
