It will be the first new build Sebel hotel in Australia since 2009 but will join Accor’s portfolio of 16 Sebel hotels and apartments across Australia and New Zealand.

The $60 million hotel development is designed by McBridge Charles Ryan architects and will feature 96 self-contained studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments across seven levels.

Guest facilities include a private lounge, cinema, library, reading room, business centre and a private dining room with a kitchen and bar.

Guests will also have use to the 25-metre indoor pool, rooftop garden and tennis court.

“The arrival of a new upscale apartment product will be a key development for Melbourne,” says chief operating officer Accor Pacific Simon McGrath.

“The growth opportunities for serviced apartments have steadily been on the ride over the past 15 years, and, what is different about Sebel is that is has invested extensively in giving a premium apartment experience to provide guests with the facilities and freedom they desire, particularly for those in the long-stay category.

McGrath says the hotel will cater to solo business travellers, as well as leisure travellers who seek an independent and self-sufficient stay.

The hotel is set to open on October 4.
