The Ritz-Carlton, Melbourne
This hotel celebrates Australia’s ancient stories and vibrant cultures through a distinctly Melbourne lens. Soar up to the Sky Lobby on Level 80, and see curated artworks acknowledging Indigenous heritage. The hotel interiors are shaped by Melbourne’s Indigenous story, Victoria-era gold rush, European influences and iconic laneway culture. Every evening in the arrival lobby, an immersive cultural soundscape will map the story of Melbourne, providing an intriguing welcome.
The Sky Lobby will take your breath away, with a double-vaulted ceiling and windows spanning the entire level, providing uninterrupted views. Gaze across Port Philip Bay, the Yarra and the distant mountains.
