Crown plans another casino hotel in Melbourne

Yet another five-star hotel is planned for Melbourne and it could be higher than the Eureka Tower.

Casino operator Crown is negotiating with developer Schiavello Group to operate a 400-room hotel in Australia’s second-tallest building.

The 84-level Queensbridge Tower would sit 8m above Eureka and house 626 apartments, 1165 car parks, a sky lounge and would be connected to the casino by a translucent glass bridge.

State planning minister Matthew Guy said his department was considering the permit application.
