Le Méridien Melbourne has quickly become one of Australia’s best luxury hotels, bringing the global brand – found in destinations from Monaco to the Maldives – to Bourke Street. The five-star hotel offers 235 rooms and suites, each shaped by a mid-century aesthetic.
The hotel’s standout feature is its show-stopping rooftop pool framed by views over Parliament House and the city centre. Now one of Melbourne’s most photographed hotel pools, it has become a defining part of the Le Méridien experience. Above it sits the two-bedroom Palace Suite, the top-floor presidential suite regularly chosen by dignitaries, touring artists, and sports stars.
Dining centres on DOLLY, the trendy underground European restaurant and cocktail bar where tables fill fast, led by Executive Chef Hervé Borghini – born in Bordeaux and trained in Michelin-starred kitchens. With two dedicated event floors and a strong wedding following, the hotel has become a cultural meeting point for locals and travellers alike.
