Eye-catching design aside, this hotel offers an exciting expansion on Melbourne’s already enticing dining scene and nightlife. W Melbourne’s distinctive restaurants and bars amplify the city’s dining landscape with innovative, original takes on the Melbourne’s multicultural cuisines.

At the centre of the action and pulse of the hotel is cocktail bar Curious, with its design as impressive as the evocative cocktail list. The bar welcomes guests into a cocoon-inspired space formed by its overhead timber beams in a parametric sequence with low lighting and muted colour palettes. Still to come is signature Japanese restaurant WARABI focusing on the freshest seasonal produce with seating for only 30 diners and a private dining room for ten.

To celebrate the region’s diverse seasons and autumn as a popular time to visit, Melbourne-born visual artist, Ash Keating utilized soft pinks and violets to light up the GREAT ROOM ceiling for an enchanting experience for guests.
