The Ritz-Carlton Melbourne makes its six-star debut in early 2023, guests won’t check in at a meagre ground floor lobby.
Instead, they’ll ascend in a high-speed elevator to the 80th floor, where a stunning ‘sky lobby’ will offer sweeping views of the Yarra River, Marvel Stadium, and the city skyline before heading to one of the 257 rooms and suites.
It’s clear that right from the start, The Ritz-Carlton Melbourne – the newest location for the fabled luxury hotel brand and its second in the country following The Ritz-Carlton Perth, which opened in 2019 – wants to make its mark on the city.
Views similar to the sky lobby will be the norm for hotel guests, with rooms going no lower than the 65th floor on one of the four towers of the soaring West Side Place development, handily located adjacent to Southern Cross Station for direct connections to rail and trams to all corners of the city, as well as being a 10-minute stroll to Southbank and the Melbourne Convention Centre.
The hotel will also offer its signature Ritz-Carlton Club, positioned on the 79th floor just below the sky lobby which will be available as an optional add-on to guests booking Club level rooms and suites.
