The Ritz-Carlton Brand Makes Debut in Melbourne, Australia
Marriott Bonvoy’s Ritz-Carlton hotel brands is making its debut in Melbourne, Australia today.
Set on the western side of Melbourne’s central business district, The Ritz-Carlton, Melbourne celebrates the country’s culture through a distinctly Melbourne lens. Designed by Australian architects Cottee Parker, the hotel’s spaces, from the ground floor gallery to the Sky Lobby Reception on Level 80, showcase an acknowledgment of place and indigenous heritage, expressed through the beautifully curated artworks that adorn the arrival lobby walls.
The interiors of the hotel capture Melbourne’s unique identity with influences from its indigenous story, Victorian-era gold rush, European heritage, and fabled laneway life. Additionally, every evening in the arrival lobby an immersive cultural soundscape maps the city’s story and combines the beat and rhythm of Australia’s past, present, and future.
Guests checking in at The Ritz-Carlton, Melbourne are welcomed at the spectacular Sky Lobby Reception on Level 80. With a double-vaulted ceiling and windows spanning the entire level, the Sky Lobby affords guests uninterrupted views across Melbourne, from the sweep of Port Philip Bay to the Yarra below and the mountains in the distance.
The hotel’s 257 guestrooms are understated and elegant, allowing the stunning city views to take centre stage. Rooms and suites feature dark wood and simple natural stone punctuated with decorative hand-made glass panels, custom light fixtures and touches of gold. The Ritz-Carlton Suite, one of the city’s largest, spans the length of the building and boasts a separate living and dining room, walk-through wardrobe, in-room sauna, and private pantry. Guests staying in Club Level suites will enjoy access to a signature Ritz-Carlton Club.
The hotel has three distinct culinary venues. The hotel’s signature restaurant Atria features hyper-seasonal, innovative, inspiring dishes by Executive Chef Michael Greenlaw’s creative and progressive menu concepts, developed in partnership with Culinary Advisor Mark Best. Located on the same level, Cameo is an intimate, sophisticated cocktail bar set high over the city and invites conviviality and a sense of discovery. The Ritz-Carlton Lobby Lounge offers the perfect setting for guests to enjoy coffee, casual luncheons, relaxed dinners, and receptions.
Other amenities include The Ritz-Carlton Spa, a stunning infinity pool looking out over the city, a carefully curated fitness centre and peaceful yoga studio complete the wellness experience.
