🚧 TELEGRAPH HOTEL RENOVATIONS 🚧
We’ll be undertaking a major renovation of the Telegraph Hotel.
The plan is to retain the existing building and façade, while upgrading the venue for both locals and visitors.
Works will include:
• Refurbished bar, bistro, and kitchen
• Updated verandah and outdoor seating along Yass Street
• Improved layout, accessibility, and amenities
We’ll also be adding:
• A third-storey extension with a small number of accommodation rooms
• A function space for events
Pending final approvals, we’re looking at:
• A rooftop bar
• A microbrewery producing Telegraph beers
• A family-friendly outdoor area
Longer-term ideas being explored include:
• A rooftop plunge pool
• A glass viewing platform over Yass Street
• A direct pedestrian connection to nearby businesses
With most of the new level being pre-fabricated, construction is expected to move quickly.
We’re pleased to confirm the renovated Telegraph Hotel will reopen on April 2nd.
See you at the Tele. 🍻
