The New Modern

For three decades, the iconic Crowne Plaza Melbourne has played a definitive role in Melbourne’s rich cultural history. Unveiled in early December as the city opens for visiting locals and interstate guests, the hotel’s extensive transformation is now complete across all 432 guestrooms and suites, new restaurant and bar outlets, public areas, conference and meeting facilities, rooftop pool and fitness centre.

The refurbishment ushers guests into the new era of Crowne Plaza locally, with design hallmarks, innovation technology and functionality which sit at the heart of the brand’s global transformation.   Throughout its entirety, Crowne Plaza Melbourne celebrates bold layers of timber, stone, metal and glass bringing its brutalist style and surrounding industrial heritage into a ‘New Modern’ era.

The ‘New Modern’ concept sits proudly within the architectural façade that is innately recognised along the Yarra River and will continue to celebrate its unrivalled views of Melbourne’s sprawling city skyline.  The hotel boasts an additional 30 new accommodation rooms, standing proud as one of Melbourne's largest single accommodation towers with 432 guestrooms and suites.

The transformation showcases a suite of brand new guest facilities including a reimagined rooftop pool, along with a 24-hour wellness centre filled with natural light overlooking the Atrium complete with state-of-the-art TechnoGym fitness equipment and floor space for the aspiring yogi.

The addition of new ‘Go-To-Hubs’ offer flexible work spaces set to inspire productivity, enabled by seamless connectivity and technology at your fingertips. Guests can connect effortlessly throughout the hotel with complimentary Wi-Fi and USB outlets available in public spaces, allowing modern travellers to work from anywhere.

More than ever before, conferences, meetings and events will be a principal focus for the hotel with the introduction of its 1,500 square metre premier event destination, Pearl Riverfront.  Located right on the Yarra River with six interconnecting studios and an additional four bespoke boardrooms and meeting rooms plus a pre-function lounge, this specially designed venue caters to residential conferences, meetings and special events for up to 700 guests. The newly designed and modern spaces feature innovative audio visual, sound and lighting technology with a dedicated Event Staging Manager on-site from AV partner, Encore Technologies.

From contactless arrivals to guest service delivery, we have designed Crowne Plaza Melbourne with 9-TO-5 (Work) and 5-TO-9 (Life) in mind.  Your next stay will embody a new way of travel.
