1 Hotel Melbourne has opened for reservations ahead of its debut in June.

The luxury lifestyle waterfront hotel marks the Starwood brand’s entrance into the Australian market, bringing a blend of sustainable luxury and nature-inspired design to the heart of Melbourne.

The 277-room hotel is also adjacent to a 3,500-square-meter native-planted park, while more than 2,000 living plants throughout the property blur the line between indoors and out.

The hotel offers a range of nature-inspired event spaces overlooking the river including a 1,000-square-meter riverside venue, accommodates up to 900 guests.

“At 1 Hotels, we believe that luxury and sustainability can and should go hand in hand,” said Barry Sternlicht, founder of 1 Hotels and Chairman of Starwood Hotels.

“With 1 Hotel Melbourne, we’ve created a waterfront destination that immerses guests in nature while celebrating the city’s rich legacy and forward-thinking spirit.”

Raul Leal, CEO of Starwood Hotels, said the opening of reservations is an exciting milestone.

“From reclaimed materials and immersive biophilic design to thoughtfully curated wellness offerings, this property is a testament to our dedication to sustainability and the extraordinary guest experiences that define 1 Hotels,” Leal said.
