voco™ South Melbourne

Scheduled to open in early 2023 in partnership with forward-thinking Melbourne-based developers, BEKL, the new-build voco South Melbourne will be a different way to stay at the northern end of St Kilda Road, where accommodation options are currently limited to serviced apartments.

Experienced hotel architect and interior designer, Plus Architecture, will design the 171 rooms focusing on the 'Me Time' concept, where guests can look forward to a great night's sleep with premium beds, innovative lighting and user-friendly technology, as well as superior showers to start the day well. Beyond guest rooms, the brand's signature 'voco Life' concept will be front and centre, with vibrant and sociable restaurant and bar spaces that work for different moments of the day, so that guests always have space to relax and enjoy themselves. It will also offer four meeting spaces and a gym.

The announcement follows the signing of a management agreement with BEKL.

Located just 3km from the Melbourne CBD, voco South Melbourne will service the northern end of St Kilda Road, with upper-level rooms enjoying breathtaking, protected views across Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance and the Royal Botanic Gardens. The hotel offers easy access to the St Kilda Road commercial precinct, Lakeside Stadium, Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Centre (MSAC), Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit, The Alfred Hospital, AAMI Park, Melbourne Arena, Rod Laver Arena, and Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), as well as local parks, lakes, shops, schools, entertainment precincts and the CBD.
