Melbourne Place Hotel
+ Add to ItineraryDescription
Melbourne Place is a new independent hotel accommodated in a “complete design”—a new building with fully integrated interiors, carried out by a single team with collaborators, including brand studio Studio Round and general manager Tracy Atherton.
The design of the building draws on the particular architectural and cultural identity of Melbourne generally but more specifically, its actual site in the east end of the CBD. The building's mass and scale have a twentieth century quality, reinforced by the highly modelled façade. Depth and shadow is achieved through the deep wedges of tinted pre-cast concrete. Sensibilities around space, volume, light, colour, texture and detail are consistent from the urban scale down to the cabinet hardware lending a sense of substance to the overall vision, each element reinforcing and amplifying the unique character of the place.
What's On
Explore the hotel via guided tour with the architectural team from Kennedy Nolan. You will have an all-access tour through the rooms, event spaces, penthouse, suites, restaurant and private areas not usually open to the public.
