First Hyatt Place Hotel in Australia to Open in Melbourne

Hyatt has entered into a management agreement with Essendon Fields for the first Hyatt Place hotel in Australia.

The Hyatt Place Melbourne, scheduled to open in 2017, will be located in the Essendon Fields development, which is quickly becoming the epicenter of business in Melbourne’s northwest region.

Just six miles form Melbourne’s Central Business District, the hotel will be situated on one of Melbourne’s most important roads, the Tullamarine Freeway, which is used by more than 100,000 cars every day.

The eight-story, upscale select service hotel will offer the brand’s signature spacious rooms, which will each feature a Cozy Corner, a 42” flat screen TV, and a comfortable bed.

Additionally, guests will be able to enjoy the brand’s signature free hot breakfast, food freshly prepared around the clock, a full bar, and high-end technology, including complimentary Wi-Fi and adaptable spaces for business and social events.

The hotel will be adjacent to a stand-alone conference facility that will accommodate up to 420 people, a more than 5,300-square-foot (500-square-meter) exhibition hall and an 80-seat restaurant and bar, which will be operated by one of Melbourne’s leading independent conference center operators.

“Today, our vision to deliver Melbourne’s North-West an international first class hotel and state-of-the-art Events Centre becomes a reality. The hotel is an exciting addition to Essendon Fields and will service a growing need for airport travellers and local businesses. It also enhances the appeal for businesses to join the flourishing Business District at Essendon Fields.” said Chris Cowan, Essendon Fields CEO.
