Le Méridien opens first Melbourne hotel
Le Méridien Melbourne hotel has opened, marking the brand’s debut in Australia.
Located in a prime location overlooking Parliament House the Melbourne hotel offers 235 guest rooms, including 14 suites.
“We are excited to introduce Le Méridien to Australia and bring the brand’s European essence,” said Jennifer Connell, Global Brand Leader, Le Méridien.
“Melbourne is a destination known for its rich history and thriving art, which makes it the perfect fit.”
Originally built as a hotel in the 1850s, the site has been a cornerstone of Melbourne’s arts and culture.
It will house a seasonal pop-up cinema on the rooftop, launching later this year, in collaboration with Melbourne International Film Festival and French Film Festival.
Adjoining the pool deck is a 24-hour TechnoGym.
Intermission is a lobby café serving coffee by day, and transforms into a wine bar by night.
The hotel offers 420 square metres of total conference space.
“We are excited to draw back the curtain on Melbourne’s most glamourous new hotel,” said Peter Minatsis, hotel GM.
