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 consists of >70 360° panoramas and includes the hotel reception, bar and café, restaurant, three different room types, two separate entrances, and the Grand Ballroom. Once the on-site photoshoot had concluded, the Virtual Tour was live on Google within 48 hours.
Since publishing, the Rydges World Square Virtual Tour has accumulated over 704,000 views on Google Maps – an average of ~3,825 views per week.
Enhanced Virtual Tours increase the viewer’s engagement by providing information and interactive options which are not available through the standard Google Street View platform.
