1 Hotel Melbourne - Opening May 2025

About us

History, culture & nature built in A stunning architectural feat, the new 1 Hotel Melbourne is nestled on the banks of the Yarra River in Melbourne’s CBD. Clad in a mesmerising composition of reflective glass panes, the hotel mirrors the dynamic and changing nature of the Yarra River, immersing guests in the beauty of the locale and bringing nature into hotel with an abundance of light, interior planting & art. The hotel is built around the restored, historic Good Shed No.5 with wellness and nature preservation at our heart and LEED certification underway. The interiors feature local recycled & refurbished timber, and materials from the good shed, to create a uniquely local stay experience. Access to river walks and adjacent to 3,500 sq. of parkland, the hotel is a nature-led haven based on the CBD free tram line. A sustainable sanctuary with everything Melbourne has to offer nearby including Marvel Stadium, the Convention Centre, shopping, dining, theatre district and Federation Square. Created by hotel visionary and original founder of W Hotels, Barry Sternlicht, 1 Hotels is a mission-driven, luxury lifestyle hotel brand that inspires change. 1 Hotels brings its sustainable vision to life by incorporating nature in its design and culinary collaborations, connecting with the local community to make a meaningful impact in the way people travel, eat, live and work. Through biophilic design and bringing nature indoors, 1 Hotels showcase the beauty of nature and inspire guests to reconnect with it. Every element is curated with intention and all in an effort to raise awareness. Throughout the hotels, guests will find natural textures and locally- sourced raw or reclaimed materials, inspired by the creativity and craftsmanship of local artists, builders, chefs and others.
