Celebrating its first birthday, this hotel is perfectly placed for a Dandenong Market tour or a deep dive into the local multicultural food scene.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holiday Inn Dandenong is part of a new push by the well-known hotel chain, and its owner IHG Hotels & Resorts, into properties that embrace their surrounds. For Holiday Inn Dandenong that means introducing visitors to the 100 or so cultures that have called Dandenong home with local culture walks and market visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the neighbourhood like?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dandenong is undergoing something of a renaissance with a series of civic plans underway like knocking down one-time Little India to make a more functional community outdoor space around the train station, the creation of the Greater Dandenong Gallery of Art scheduled for later this year and more recent works like the Afghan Bazaar Streetscape Enhancement Project to reflect the culture of the local population. The Dandenong Market is the beating heart of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
