TFE Hotels

The striking Bates Smart design of this hotel, with its ground breaking construction technology and sleek curved glass curtain facade will form a landmark for Melbourne's Southbank precinct. A vast curved balcony will provide views from a spectacular pool area and gym area towards the city. The hotel's spacious, contemporary apartments provide ample living space, ideal for city escapes by travellers who enjoy city living and memorable dining, arts and sporting experiences. Hume Partners Property (formerly Bennelong Property) is adding 10 new floors to an existing six-storey office building to form a 220-apartment hotel using relatively new mass timber construction technology that will see the project attain new levels in sustainable design, and making it one of Australia's tallest timber buildings. The site at 55 Southbank Boulevard is a defining new gateway for Melbourne, sitting between the CBD, vibrant St Kilda Road, and the parklands surrounding Royal Botanic Gardens.
