Melbourne’s hoteliers recently came together for an exclusive site inspection at — and what an incredible showcase of design and innovation ✨
Officially opened in December 2025, this $150 million boutique gem has already injected fresh energy into Southbank’s vibrant arts and entertainment precinct. Developed by Time & Place in partnership with TFE Hotels, the 188-room property has been beautifully designed by Melbourne’s acclaimed Flack Studio.
Part of the prestigious Collection by TFE Hotels portfolio, the hotel occupies a striking triangular landmark site and sets a new benchmark for next-generation luxury.
Highlights? A stunning 20-metre indoor pool, a vibrant rooftop terrace with sweeping city views, thoughtfully designed co-working spaces, and five distinctive dining venues operated by The Mulberry Group — each bringing its own personality and flair.
From tactile materials and curated artwork to warm, residential-style finishes, every detail reflects a refined yet welcoming approach to contemporary luxury.
A big thank you to
Executive Assistant Manager, for the insightful tour and wonderful hospitality, and to Peter Minatsis & Sergio Morales Aguilera for being such generous hosts.
Gatherings like this truly reflect what AICR stands for — camaraderie, inspiration, and a shared passion for exceptional guest experiences.
We look forward to seeing everyone at the next event!
