La Vie Hotels & Resorts
Leading Independent Hotel management company, La Vie Hotels & Resorts, announced the acquisition of management rights for the former Rydges Norwest in the thriving Sydney Hills District business and residential area. The property has been rebranded under a white label as Visy Dior Hotels International.
Ideally located in the heart of the fastest growing business community in Sydney, and only 30 minutes from the Sydney CBD and 15 minutes from Parramatta, Visy Dior Hotels International offers 132 rooms, including Executive Spa rooms and Balcony King rooms, along with a restaurant, swimming pool, fitness centre, and extensive function facilities. The hotel is set to undergo up to $18 million in transformation over the next 18 months.
The full-scale renovation includes plans for the redesign of guest rooms and function spaces, the introduction of innovative dining experiences, and the development of a new grand ballroom capable of hosting 880 guests with a large dance floor — a long-awaited milestone for the local community seeking premium event space for wedding ceremonies in our lush garden & gazebo, wedding receptions on our extensive Mediterranean verandas, high-tech conference facilities, ballrooms, and meeting spaces.
“The La Vie team welcome the addition of Visy Dior to our growing portfolio of hotels and resorts”. The Hills region is one of Sydney’s most dynamic business and lifestyle hubs. This project reflects our mission to deliver elevated guest experiences, and we are confident Visy Dior will redefine hospitality standards in the area,” commented Marcus Hanna, Chief Operating Officer at La Vie Hotels & Resorts.
“This partnership with La Vie Hotels & Resorts represents a defining moment in the evolution of the Visy Dior brand. La Vie’s operational expertise and proven leadership in Hotel Management align seamlessly with our vision to create a flagship destination that embodies sophistication, innovation, and people-first luxury. Together, we are not just transforming a property — we are setting a new industry benchmark in the Hills District.
This collaboration will deliver an elevated 5-star experience that resonates with today’s discerning traveller while establishing a powerful blueprint for the future of modern hospitality. The revitalised Visy Dior Hotels International will be a community cornerstone, offering refined service, curated experiences, and exceptional hospitality for both travellers and locals” said Giovaninno F Navarra, Co-Owner of Visy Dior Hotels International.
