It is in proximity to the South Melbourne Market, ANZAC station, the Royal Botanical gardens, the Australian Grand Prix racetrack in Albert Park, and the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, making it an ideal location for both leisure and business travelers.
Hyatt House hotels are designed for guests seeking spacious and well-equipped living accommodations for short or long-term stays.

The guestrooms will offer a mix of studios and 1-bedroom residential-styled Kitchen Suites, equipped with kitchen islands, refrigerators, stovetops, spacious living rooms, plush beds, and modern bathrooms. The hotel will also feature the H Bar, an all-day lounge and a central gathering spot where guests can enjoy freshly made breakfast or unwind with a cocktail in the evening. Additional amenities include a 24/7 fitness room and communal spaces for working, socializing, or relaxing.
