A Hyatt affiliate has entered into an agreement with an affiliate of Holder East Ltd for a Hyatt House hotel in Melbourne, Australia.

Expected to open in 2025, the 97-guestroom Hyatt House South Melbourne will be the brand’s first property in the country.

Located in the hub of South Melbourne, home to the South Melbourne Market and a host of multicultural food, shopping and entertainment landmarks, Hyatt House South Melbourne is close to ANZAC station, the Royal Botanical gardens, the Australian Grand Prix racetrack in Albert Park, the business hubs in St Kilda Road, the Docklands, Southbank, and the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Hyatt House South Melbourne, which is currently under construction, is part of the mixed-use Oasis Residences, an urban development designed by the Hayball architects. The hotel’s 97 guestrooms will offer a mix of room types, including studios and one-bedroom residential-styled kitchen suites with a kitchen island, refrigerator, and stovetop, a spacious living room, a plush bed in the bedroom, and a modern bathroom.

The hotel’s all-day lounge will be home to the H Bar, a central gathering spot offering freshly made breakfast in the morning and cocktails in the evening. In addition, Hyatt House South Melbourne will have a 24/7 fitness room and communal spaces for working, socializing or relaxing.

“Hyatt House South Melbourne will be a vibrant addition to the South Melbourne precinct. The brand’s focus on offering a home away from home experience will make guests feel genuinely at ease with an elevated, spacious, and stylish experience,” said CJ Wu, chief operation officer of Holder East Ltd.
