Meet Kristen Nock Owner of The Byng Street Hotel

Introducing this week’s special guest on @sparkingregionaljoy Kristen Nock, the visionary owner of the award-winning @byngstreet_hotel in Orange, NSW. With a heart full of passion and a vision fueled by a relentless spirit, Kristen embodies the qualities of loyalty, determination, and commitment.

Kristen Nock's journey in the hospitality sector began with an insatiable desire to explore the world. Unsure of her path after high school, she ventured into Hotel Management, which propelled her into the finest hotels in Sydney and exciting stints across Europe. Her professional journey has been nothing short of remarkable, full of learnings, lifelong friendships, and self-discovery. The result is her ultimate achievement—transforming the 19th-century Yallungah homestead into a 4.5-star luxury hotel that tastefully merges historical charm with modern elegance. Byng Street Boutique Hotel has scooped up gold at the NSW Tourism Awards two years running, making it a jewel in the crown of Orange's heritage precinct.

Nestled in the heart of Orange, the @byngstreet_hotel boasts an extraordinary mix of heritage and contemporary luxury. The 22 beautifully appointed rooms and suites offer guests a choice between the nostalgic “Heritage Wing” or the sleek “Modern Wing.” The commitment to providing personalized, warm, and welcoming service is at the heart of Kristen's philosophy, which aligns perfectly with the artistic aesthetics conceived in collaboration with interior designer Louise Spicer.

Prepare to be swept off your feet by Kristen's authentic tale of tenacity, sacrifices, and the euphoric highs of entrepreneurial accomplishment. In this episode, she will delve deeper into her intriguing story, sharing personal and professional insights that promise to be both empowering and uplifting. We’ll also get to hear about what's next for @byngstreet_hotel, which is looking to be a year of 'normalcy,' flourishing growth, and perhaps another shining award!
