Element Melbourne Richmond marks brand’s debut in Australia
Marriott International has opened Element Melbourne Richmond, marking the brand’s debut in Australia.
Owned and developed by TRC (Aust), the hotel carries an eco-conscious ethos and is situated in the new Botanicca Corporate Park on the banks of the Yarra River.
Each of the 163 guest rooms and five deluxe balcony king rooms, while an innovative, multifunctional dining space is open from breakfast through to dinner.
The space transforms daily from the location for the brand's signature complimentary Rise breakfast, offering health-focused options like a chef-made omelette, a fresh fruit and yoghurt station and locally-supplied coffee and tea, to Mint Lane Restaurant & Bar for lunch and dinner, serving seasonal modern Australian fare using fresh local ingredients.
Guests can enjoy the brand's signature evening Relax reception four days a week, which offers complimentary local beers and wines and small bites, while the 24/7 Restore grab-and-go pantry is available for guests to purchase snacks and food items to prepare in their rooms, as well as everyday essentials.
“The launch of Element Melbourne Richmond marks a significant milestone for Marriott International, as the first of its kind in Australia,” said Sean Hunt, Area Vice President, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific, Marriott International.
“A recognised industry leader in the longer-stay eco space, Element Hotels promotes a balanced approach to living and travel. The debut comes as travellers are increasingly seeking out accommodation that offers a flexible environment to live, work and connect."
