FIRST LOOK inside Melbourne's 'golden' hotel

In less than four months, Melbourne will be home to a 'golden' hotel featuring the largest event space in the southern hemisphere as well as high-quality design and luxuries.

In less than four months, Melbourne will be home to a ‘golden’ hotel featuring the largest event space in the southern hemisphere as well as high-quality design and luxuries.

The $150 million Novotel Melbourne South Wharf is in its final stages of construction and although it’s not quite ready for visitors, it’s developed enough for us to get our hands on a few early images.

Located in the redeveloped South Wharf precinct, the 26-storey property distinguishes itself from its Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) neighbours thanks to its golden exterior. Actually golden…

In March 2018, it will give travellers access to some 347 guestrooms, each of which Novotels says will “set a new gold standard” in room design – this is thanks to designers at Woods Bagot, NH Architecture and Fender Katsalidis and Woods Bagot.
