The Standard Hotels group has partnered with Melbourne-based property developer DealCorp to open the chain’s first luxury lodging in Australia. Located in the eclectic suburb of Fitzroy, in central Melbourne, the opening will expand upon The Standard’s portfolio of designer hotels, some of which are located in New York, Miami and London, as well as a resort in the Maldives.
Featuring architecture by Woods Bagot and interiors from the team at Hecker Guthrie, preliminary illustrations of the 127-room, seven-level hotel show that the building takes creative cues from Fitzroy’s rich industrial heritage and bohemian spirit, while also respecting its residential surrounds.
Yet to be officially named, the new Standard Hotel in Melbourne (not to be confused with the existing Standard Hotel at 293 Fitzroy Street) is just one of many new hotels in the pipeline for the US-based hospitality chain as they look to expand into Asia and Europe. The hotel group has a raft of boutique accommodation venues slated for Hua Hin, Bangkok, Singapore, Porto, Lisbon, and Brussels, all listed on the company’s website as coming soon.
Construction of The Standard Hotel in Melbourne is expected to begin later this year and completed by 2023.
