Planted on the corner of Little Bourke Street in Melbourne's dense CBD grid, a glazed curtain-wall tower announces Next Hotel Melbourne with a ground-floor lobby visible to the street — its entrance marked by bold geometric art and an Ingresso sign that signals something more deliberately considered than the average corporate high-rise. The hotel, part of Hilton's Curio Collection and designed with interiors by Buchan Group, carries a distinctly Italian-inflected identity through its public spaces, the name itself a nod to the Italian word for entry. Across its 255 rooms and suites distributed over more than twenty floors, the interiors work a palette of warm walnut joinery, deep red-veined marble benchtops, tweed-upholstered bedheads, and globe pendant lights — a European sensibility applied to a thoroughly contemporary Melbourne tower. The food and beverage spaces are where the design conviction sharpens most. The bar runs a long dark-stone counter beneath a coffered timber ceiling, flanked by a floor-to-ceiling bottle display reached by a rolling library ladder, with views across the city skyline through full-height glazing. The restaurant shares that same architectural language — leather banquettes, dark-stained timber floors in broad format stone, and sculptural ceramic vessels suspended in steel vitrines that bring an art-gallery seriousness to the room. Guest rooms on upper floors frame the CBD skyline through picture windows trimmed in warm cove lighting, the effect closer to a well-appointed apartment than a conventional hotel room.
