Momentum Developments’ Paul Huggins has promised to restore to its former glory the heritage Mentone Hotel overlooking Port Phillip Bay in Victoria.
Mr Huggins purchased the coastal landmark for about $9 million amidst heavy competition and said he planned to retain and restore the original building and attract a F&B retail business operator, while also developing the rest of the site for accommodation.
He plans to capitalise on the large site and sought-after location by looking at a range of development options that will incorporate the existing hotel building and maximise the substantial Beach Rd frontage and sweeping views across Port Phillip Bay.
