A destination to experience Melbourne’s vibrant soul, Melbourne Place offers urban lifestyle accommodation, exemplary dining experiences and contemporary retailers in the heart of the city.
The unveiling of an eagerly awaited Melbourne landmark development is complete as Melbourne Place opened its doors to guests, just in time for the bustling summer season.
Situated at 130 Russell Street, Melbourne Place is a celebration of everything ‘quintessentially Melbourne’ – fusing together state-of-the-art accommodation, award winning design, high functionality, world-class dining and event experiences and boutique retail activations.
The hotel features contemporary textures, tones and shapes, with every touch point a moment to savour artistry. The elegant hotel suites, with bespoke finishes and furnishings, afford guests an intimate front-row view of the evolving cityscape. Rooms have been carefully curated to offer guests unparalleled stays, with a range of room, suite and penthouse options available to ensure a restful stay. Level one plays host to a variety of meeting and event spaces catering to weddings, corporate events, private dining and product launches. The Emerald event space, with a capacity of 166 sit down and 300 cocktail, is contemporary, light filled and sophisticated. It features a rare gem among Melbourne event spaces—an open-air terrace overlooking Russell Street below, capturing the electric energy of the city. For more intimate occasions, Melbourne Place offers three further event spaces, ideal for hosting elevated board style meetings and private dining.
Hatted Young Chef of the Year Nicholas Deligiannis is at the helm of the hotel’s culinary program including the rooftop restaurant, Mid Air, sitting on level 12 of the hotel. Deligiannis serves delicately curated menus in the events spaces, and indulgent in-room dining options for in-house guests. Ross and Sunny Lusted of Sydney’s Woodcut and the legendary Aman Resorts have unveiled a new and original concept to the ground floor dining room, Marmelo and basement bar, Mr Mills. Marmelo draws inspiration from the coastal cuisines of Portugal and Spain, capturing the essence of Iberian flavours, reimagined through fresh Victorian produce.
Highly respected Executive General Manager, Tracy Atherton, formerly Jackalope Hotels Group General Manager, oversees a talented and creative team who, collectively, endeavour to deliver levels of service and venue excellence not yet experienced in the Melbourne market. The vision – a design-forward culinary hub encapsulating the essence of Melbourne and offering a captivating destination for locals and visitors alike.
Atherton reflects “Melbourne Place will redefine the Paris-end precinct of Melbourne. Neighbouring the city’s best restaurants, bars, nightlife and retail, it will
be the place to be, providing guests with a unique lifestyle and cultural experience situated among the best offerings in the city. It is the ultimate location to experience the pinnacle of Melbourne’s life and spirit.”
Melbourne Place is an independent 191-room luxury hotel. The project was undertaken by Merricks Capital and constructed by ADCO. The designers behind the project are internationally recognised architects, Kennedy Nolan. The three-year project encompassed the demolition of three existing buildings and construction of a two-level basement and 14 level hotel on Russell Street.
