    The Hotel Como Nov 1993 - Aug 1998

    The hotel was ahead of it's time having been launched extremely well circa 1990 (thanks to Patrick Griffin OAM). The place to be in Melbourne during this period with a great team winning Best Hotel in Victoria awards at state championships in 1994, 1995 and 1996 gaining Hall of Fame Status and Best in Australia at the nationals in 1996 and 1997. Owned by Tan & Tan (Malaysia) and Singapore Government through a corporation. The Official Hotel Guide rated the hotel as one of only 107 hotels in their top category, Superior Deluxe, with over 50,000 listed globally. Hotel and development was sold to Mirvac following Asian Economic crisis in early 1998 giving a good ROI to owners. The CEO's influence on me was most positive and for which I shall always be grateful. Amazing team commitment.
