Melbourne’s hospitality scene has an exciting new arrival: Melbourne Place recently opened its doors, bringing a new level of luxury to the heart of the city.

This striking 14-storey landmark, with 191 beautifully designed rooms, is already making waves at the Paris end of Melbourne. With state-of-the-art accommodation, world-class dining, and boutique retail spaces, Melbourne Place has quickly established itself as a coveted destination.

At the helm is Tracy Atherton, former Executive General Manager of Jackalope Hotels Group, who is setting a bold new standard. “Melbourne Place has redefined this part of the city,” she says. “With the best restaurants, bars, nightlife, and shopping right outside, this is the place to be - offering guests a truly unique cultural and lifestyle experience.”

And for food lovers? Prepare to be impressed. Young Chef of the Year Nicholas Deligiannis is leading Mid Air, the rooftop restaurant already drawing a buzz, while the ground-floor dining room and basement bar - transformed by a globally renowned restaurateur - are fast becoming the city's next must-visit culinary spots.

For Peter Crinis, former Crown Hotels CEO and director of Melbourne Place, the hotel is about more than luxury - it’s about changing the game. “This is the hotel Melbourne has been waiting for,” he says. “We’re redefining hospitality at every touchpoint.”

The creative vision behind Melbourne Place is just as impressive. Some of Australia’s top design minds - including Kennedy Nolan, Studio Round, James Richardson Furniture, and Mars Art Gallery - have crafted spaces that blend contemporary elegance with bespoke details, offering guests stunning views of Melbourne’s evolving cityscape.

Melbourne Place is a statement of design, culture, and creativity - an experience crafted for those who appreciate the extraordinary. Deeply connected to Melbourne’s creative spirit, Melbourne Place invites you to experience something special.
