Melbourne’s Luxe W Hotel Is Now Open with a Sky-High Gold-Adorned Pool and Laneway Cocktail Bar – Concrete Playground

If you’re a Melburnian looking for a new staycation destination, you’ll can now add the first Victorian venue from hotel chain W Hotel to your must-stay list. And if you’re from elsewhere in Australia and you’re planning a trip to the city, you can pair your next visit with drinks in a laneway bar, a dip in a sky-high pool and striking views.

First announced in 2020, and now up and running as of February 2021, W Melbourne has opened in Flinders Lane, with 294 guest rooms and 29 suites. Following W Brisbane‘s ten-gallon baths, the Melbourne digs are no less indulgent — including an ‘Extreme Wow Suite’, which has its own 40-square-metre balcony with views of the Yarra, a jukebox and cocktail bar.
