Reviews for The William Inglis Hotel - MGallery Collection

We recently had our wedding at The William Inglis Hotel and had such an amazing experience. A huge thank you to Mikaela, our wedding and events executive, who was incredible from start to finish. She was so kind, helpful, and organised, and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she really helped everything run smoothly on the day. The hotel was very accommodating, and all the staff were professional and attentive. The service and food was excellent making it even more special. We’re so grateful to Mikaela and the entire team and would highly recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding or special event.

Just stayed a couple of days at the William Inglis hotel with my sister and I have to say it was beautiful. We enjoyed our stay very much. We had great weather, so we spent time by the pool which is a roof top one and so nice! Breakfast was good and dinner yummier. Clara welcomed us at reception and upgraded our room as well. She really went out if her way to meet our requests. She was friendly and very accommodating.

Had a very pleasant few nights stay here. It’s so nice and peaceful, a very nice home away from home. We booked the executive suite which was absolutely perfect for us. I’ve never experienced any good food from hotel room services before and this was the same as any other; overpriced and average, odd ratios of condiments to food, etc. But we didn’t stay here for the room service so no stars will be deducted for that - just a gentle tip to not expect too much with that.

Garden Pavilion for business event - great venue, spacious, no outside noise, private. At night the lighting on the walkway makes the venue memorable. Food was average imo. Servive was superb though :) A great choice for wedding or private events. Heaps of free parking too.

We had a lovely 3 nights at the hotel in one of your suites. The bathtub alone was a great experience (although one lot of bath salts were not enough for three nights). The bathroom was huge!! We had beautiful views from our room and service was very good generally. The restaurant "Newsmarket" was outstanding!!! Mostly we loved the tranquility of this amazing place. We will definitely stay again.
