After a $30 million investment to transform an existing property, Pullman Melbourne on Swanston – the first for the city’s CBD, has opened in Australia.

Owned by Erdigroup and operated under Accor’s upscale, cosmopolitan Pullman brand, the new Pullman Melbourne on Swanston emerges following a complete rebuild and rebrand of the property formerly known as The Swanston Hotel Grand Mercure.

Rising 15 levels and offering captivating views of the CBD from its exceptional location, the hotel comprises 204 guestrooms and suites and is ideally positioned on Swanston Street at the gateway to the Little Bourke Street precinct – home to Melbourne’s best shopping and dining.

Four different interior designers were engaged to create unique spaces throughout the hotel, offering guests an element of the unexpected at every turn. Rothelowman, STUDIO MAC, interiors by Foster and P49 have created an eclectic mix of sophisticated urbanism.

Tucked away on the mezzanine level, the new designer Eva’s Restaurant & Bar offers all-day dining and drinks and has been carefully designed to express an urbane dining aesthetic and welcoming atmosphere to appeal to locals and visitors alike.

A further feature of the new hotel is the exclusive Club Lounge, a Pullman brand signature. Located on level 15 and boasting breath-taking views of the city, the hotel’s spacious Club Lounge operates across an entire floor and is dedicated to guest convenience and comfort. Club guests also have access to an exclusive private event space, Room 1954.
