Melbourne Home to Marriott's Second W Hotel in Australia

Marriott has opened the second W hotel in Australia.

Located at 408 Flinders Lane, the W Melbourne is the vision of Australian architecture and interior design firm Hachem.

"It was a natural choice for us to launch our second W hotel in Australia in one of the world’s most culturally diverse cities," said Sean Hunt, Area Vice President, Marriott International. “With its bold style, energizing nightlife and great appetite for what’s new and next, Melbourne is a brilliant new addition to our luxury portfolio, and solidifies our confidence in the travel recovery here in Australia."

The W Melbourne has 294 guest rooms and 29 suites - including the 175 sqm Extreme Wow Suite (W Hotels' interpretation of the presidential suite) on the hotel’s highest floor. The suite features a large balcony with expansive views of the Yarra River and an interactive music station – a fresh take on an old-school jukebox.

Facilities at the W Melbourne include a variety of F&B outlets, 830 sqm of flexible event space, a gym, and a gold-roofed indoor pool which boasts a poolside bar and DJ booth.

"Melbourne is the perfect locale for the playfully luxe spirit of the W brand and we could not be more excited to unveil this highly anticipated hotel to the world,” said Jennie Toh, Vice President of Brand Marketing and Brand Management, Asia Pacific, Marriott International. “From its unique, locally inspired design to its eclectic lineup of restaurants and bars, W Melbourne is destined to redefine the luxury hotel scene here and become a must-go destination for travelers and local scene-stealers alike.”
