A new slew of luxury hotels have opened in Australia, bringing buzz and vibrancy to the tourism scene Down Under. From Melbourne, Sydney to Gold Coast, we highlight the latest places to check into for your next holiday.
W Melbourne opened in February 2021 at the bustling Flinder’s Lane – the perfect locale to immerse yourself in the city’s creative and laneway culture. The glamorous property has 294 rooms and suites (29 suites, four WOW suites and an ultra-luxe Extreme WOW penthouse on Level 15).
Check out the range of vibrant restaurants and bars including Lollo by celebrated local chef Adam D’Sylva, or Warabi, a Japanese omakase restaurant serving a nine-course degustation menu. Curious is the hotspot for cocktail connoisseurs. The bar fuses music programming, a menu of small bites and sharing plates as well as creative concoctions. The cocktail menu has been curated by drink experts Proof & Co. Over at Culprit, you can grab a pick-me-up double shot latte (Melbourne is after all one of the best places for coffee) or wind down with a refreshing afternoon spritz along with antipasti.
After all the superb nosh, burn some calories in the state-of-the-art FIT gym or if you must, continue your drinks session at the WET® pool, while soaking up view of the city skyline.
