Luxury meets sustainability in Melbourne
Experience a first look at Melbourne's brand new 1 Hotel – a place where Victoria's natural environment is celebrated in every element of your stay.
1 Hotel Melbourne is unlike any other experience in the city. A retreat right on the Yarra, the hotel honours the city's natural beauty and vibrant heritage in everything it does. The commitment to sustainability, and reverence for Victoria are reflected in everything from the design elements to the locally-focused menus of its signature restaurant, From Here by Mike.
Featuring 277 guest rooms and 114 hotel-branded residences, as well as several dining options, 1 Hotel Melbourne merges luxury and nature through its design and interiors. More than that, it honours Melbourne's heritage in a sustainable way. For example, during construction, heritage-listed materials from the city's old Goods Shed No. 5 were reused and restored to begin a new chapter in the city's story.
Decorated with 7000 plants, the interiors of 1 Hotel emphasise its focus on nature. The lush atmosphere is enhanced by light streaming through the expansive glass walls – connecting guests to Melbourne with views of the Yarra River and beyond.
Repurposed wharf materials are woven throughout the property's design, used to both enhance the aesthetic and fill functional roles. For example, 1944 bluestone pavers from the old Goods Shed No. 5 have been preserved to form a heritage footpath. Other materials reused include subaquatic wharf timbers, railway sleepers, steel trusses, and even window frames have been restored to celebrate Melbourne's history.
Signature restaurant From Here by Mike has been created in partnership with celebrated Australian chef Mike McEnearney. With a focus on local ingredients and a low-waste approach, the restaurant heroes Victorian producers, showcasing the quality and variety of produce available close to Melbourne.
Menus will evolve throughout the day, but all retain the same ethos of low waste and sustainably grown food. There will be a focus on local growers, with diners encouraged to learn more about the people behind their meals. The wine list will also focus on local boutique growers, with a map showing the different regions each wine comes from.
For those looking for a more relaxed atmosphere to enjoy a drink, the ground-floor Crane Bar and Lounge offers locally distilled spirits alongside Australian wines, in a space designed to encourage connection – both with fellow guests and Melbourne's vibrant surroundings.
Wellness is also central to the ethos of 1 Hotel Melbourne, reflected in its dedicated wellness area. This includes a stunning indoor swimming pool, the Bamford Wellness Spa, a gym, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, and even ice baths for guests to enjoy.
Located on the banks of the Yarra, 1 Hotel Melbourne invites guests to slow down and take time to appreciate everything the city has to offer. Perhaps take a coffee to the gardens outside, or relax with a glass of local wine as you watch Melbourne evenings come to life.
