Bring down the scaffolding -the countdown begins!

All their publicity states that stage 1 is due for completion in the 3rd quarter 2014, and by my reckoning, that pretty well allows them just about 6 to 7 more weeks.

According to their website we can expect to enjoy the revitalisation of the majority of the existing buildings including the Casino Building, The Wintergarden, The Flying Fox Room and The Cat’s Alley, The Delmonte Building & Conference Rooms and The Majestic Ballroom. This famous and fondly remembered space will have a beautiful new Lobby and pre-function area and will also include a large garden reception terrace.

A new entry to the hotel at the Katoomba end of the site will provide extensive public areas including the Majestic Point Lookout, The Boilerhouse and the new Hydro Majestic Pavilion. The Pavilion will reflect the flavour of the old Royal Easter Shows, incorporating an interactive history environment and a major regional epicurean providores: “The Taste of The Blue Mountains”. Luxury conference, business and events centre, exhibition spaces, tours, cafe and food spaces and landscaped gardens.

Some plants have been delivered and are sitting in their pots waiting to be planted.

Can't wait!
