About the Hotel - W Melbourne

W
Melbourne is the rebel between the streets, sitting in the heart of
the Melbourne CBD on the iconic Flinders Lane, the luxury hotel takes its design
cues from Australia’s cultural capital and providing the back-lane entrance keys
to what’s New/Next in the city. Extending the laneway culture inside, 294 bold
rooms and suites peel back the layers and revel in the city’s history.

There are four electric and daring bars and restaurants within the hotel, plus
over 800 square metres of ultra-modern event space. W Melbourne is set to be
the place to see and be seen in.
