Como Melbourne steps up to the MGallery
The Como Melbourne has become part of Accor’s MGallery collection of hotels.
The MGallery collection comprises almost 50 hotels around the world, including Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains and The Grand Hotel in Melbourne.
Following Accor’s acquisition of the Mirvac hotel portfolio at least five more hotels will join the MGallery collection, with Sydney’s 4.5-star Harbour Rocks Hotel and Melbourne’s Hotel Lindrum to rebrand before 2013.
As part of the Como Melbourne’s multi-million dollar renovation, all 107 rooms have been refurbished.
The baby grand piano which singer Robbie Williams famously played on as he entertained his entourage will reclaim its position in the Gold penthouse.
Other guests who have been known to tinkle the baby grand ivories include Kylie Minogue, Lily Allen, Michael Bubl-© and Bruce Springsteen.
The Como Melbourne opened its doors on the corner of Toorak Road and Chapel Street 22 years ago and has remained one of the city’s most stylish hotels.
