Hotel Case Study
In April 2017, Rydges World Square asked us to create an Enhanced Google Street View Virtual Tour to embed on their website. The virtual tour was then updated in January 2022 to include new areas within the hotel and to reflect recent changes to interior decor and the Rydges branding.
The Virtual Tour consists of 69 x 360° panoramas which include the hotel entrances, lobby and reception areas, the Cidery Bar, the Amber Restaurant, three different room types, three separate meeting rooms, and the Grand Ballroom.
Once the on-site photoshoots had concluded, the Virtual Tour was live on Google within 72 hours. Since publishing, the Rydges World Square Virtual Tour has accumulated over 820,000 views on Google Maps – an average of ~3,500 views per week.
Enhanced Virtual Tours increase the viewer’s engagement by providing information and interactive options that are not available through the standard Google Street View platform. Enhanced features include interactive restaurant and bar menus, online booking platforms, wedding, conference, and event information, capacities and layouts, and links to social media accounts.
Why did Rydges World Square choose to create a virtual tour?
Initially, we set it up to help with interstate conference client however we found it even more helpful through COVID due to travel restriction within state and also interstate. Many clients are now working from home so it also provided extra convenience to “visit” the space online.
How does the virtual tour help the hotel?
Nearly every proposal sent, I’ll include the virtual tour link to help clients visualise the space. Definitely help us promote our venue easier and allow the clients to understand the space layout better.
