Melbourne will see the introduction of 1 Hotel Melbourne this May, marking the Australian debut of the sustainable luxury hotel brand.
The 277-room property aims to set a new standard for nature-focused hospitality by integrating biophilic design with premium event spaces, while sustainability is woven throughout through the use of over 2,000 live plants, recycled materials, and local sourcing.
Located in the city’s revitalised Northbank precinct, the hotel will boast 1,700m2 of meeting and event spaces, including a 1,000m2 function centre on the ground floor, offering direct vehicle access for VIPs.
This space accommodates up to 920 guests for a seated dinner. Five intimate gathering suites on the first floor cater to smaller boardroom-style meetings and executive events, with flexible layouts and access to a private bar. With floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, the function spaces overlook the Yarra River and a 3,500m2 native-planted park, creating an immersive indoor-outdoor experience.
Events at 1 Hotel Melbourne can also earn Certified Sustainable Gatherings status, eliminating over 90 per cent of waste and achieving zero gas emissions.
