The first new hotel at Melbourne Airport in 20 years will add 464 three and four-star rooms to the location, with no shuttle required.
A $230 million hotel property opening July 1 is set to add 464 three and four-star rooms to Melbourne Airport – no shuttle required between check out and check in.
Eventually opened in 1970 and now run by the privatised Federal Airports Corporation, Melbourne Airport covers 2741 hectares – that’s three times the size of Kingsford Smith and still bigger than it and the new Western Sydney site combined, for those playing the Melbourne/Sydney rivalry game. “We’ve got a huge strategic advantage in that all the terminal buildings are under one roof but expanding the precinct around that is a big part of the long-term future of the place,” says executive Jai McDermott, who heads up transport, property and retail operations at Melbourne Airport.
FK’s James Pearce says, within his team and collaborators Bates Smart who did the hotel interiors as well as Techne who did the F&B space designs, a great deal of thought was given to all the different types of users of the hotel.
