Wyndham Opens Hotel in Melbourne, Australia

Wyndham has expanded its portfolio of hotels in Australia with the opening of the Wyndham Hotel Melbourne.

Centrally located in Melbourne’s central business district (CBD) on the corner of William Street and Little Bourke Street, the high-rise complex boasts 531 apartments across two towers and comprises hotel accommodation, vacation ownership, residential apartments and a retail precinct.

Wyndham Hotel Melbourne operates as a mixed-use property, providing accommodations for both Wyndham Hotel Group guests and vacation owners with 86 apartments through WorldMark South Pacific Club by Wyndham, part of sister company Wyndham Vacation Resorts Asia Pacific, one of Australia’s largest vacation ownership companies.

Barry Robinson, president and managing director for Wyndham Vacation Resorts Asia Pacific and Wyndham Hotel Group in South East Asia and Pacific Rim, said this new Melbourne development would mark an exciting first for both companies.

“We are very happy to enter the Melbourne market with this exceptionally designed, flagship property that will appeal to both business travellers and holidaymakers,” Mr Robinson said. “Wyndham Hotel Melbourne reflects the vibrancy and sophistication this cosmopolitan city is renowned for and we look forward to offering guests and more than 49,000 vacation owners the exceptional service and product for which the Wyndham brand is known around the world.”

The 23- and 21-storey towers were designed by Melbourne-based Bruce Henderson Architects and feature one and two-bedroom apartments as well as three-bedroom Grand and Presidential Suites that boast added luxuries such as built-in fireplaces, wine refrigerators and outdoor lounge and dining areas.

The transformation of the building includes a new façade and upgraded building services as well as significant environmental initiatives such as rooftop solar panels, rainwater reuse in bathrooms and double-glazed doors and windows to reduce noise and increase energy efficiency.

Additional hotel services and amenities include a 24-hour reception, concierge, a gym, a library, meeting space, ground floor retail and dining precinct and a rooftop pool with a barbecue area and city skyline views.

Wyndham Hotel Melbourne joins 16 hotels currently open and operating in Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia and Guam under the Wyndham, Ramada, TRYP by Wyndham and Days Inn brand flags.
