PB hotel design editorial

That oxidised Corten skin, warming to a deep amber as it weathers, sets the tone before you even reach the door. The StandardX, Melbourne, designed by Woods Bagot and opened in 2024, is an eight-storey, 125-room new-build in Fitzroy that takes its formal cues from the neighbourhood's historic corner pubs — a knowing gesture in a suburb that has always worn its working-class bones with pride. The facade combines the rusted steel cladding with board-formed concrete at street level, and the entrance announces itself through a lacquered red cylindrical portal that belongs to a different register entirely — graphic, urban, deliberately confrontational against all that raw materiality. Inside, Hecker Guthrie navigates a convincing tonal range: the lobby layers terrazzo flooring, loose natural-linen curtains, tan leather sofas, and chunky open-weave textile room dividers in a palette of sand and warm oak that draws on both mid-century Italian restraint and the sun-bleached informality of the Australian interior. Guest rooms keep things lean — blue-and-white striped carpet, oak shelf-desks, boucle headboards, and paired armchairs in navy and stone — with just enough colour to push back against the minimalist tendency. The rooftop terrace, planted with olive trees, aloe, and kangaroo paw beneath fringed tangerine umbrellas, frames a panoramic sweep across Fitzroy's terrace rooftops toward the city. It feels earned rather than gratuitous — which, for this neighbourhood, is exactly right.

"Everything wrong with this place... paid 4k for 7 nights in so called deluxe king room that was like a cheap budget Ikea back packers room so tiny kept knocking my elbows in the glass shower bathroom and Im a size 8 tiny petite lady.. mattress was really uncomfortable too like budget... then staff refused to help with my luggage upon check in and check out gave me so much attitude for ordering in room dining 🍽 demanding I come down to pick it up and also 1 staff with spannish Accent had his underwear showing hanging out and had so much attitude getting mad at me for ordering dinner then for breakfast paid $30 for soggy food with no health and safety covering just all open plate abruptly at me... no pool or gym facilities with rude lazy in attentive staff that all resent you or the creepy 1 staff guy that kept perving at me too ✋️ so uncomfortable either that or just staff with attitude like a back packers vibe... I got treated as thoe I was staying for free at a commissioner government home 🏡... this place is a joke .. such a fake pretentious vibe with no substance or customer service or hospitality just a fake wannabe glorified back packers vibe.. pls dont waste your hard earned money... instant regret sadly I paid upfront and couldn't refund 😪.. the 4.7 reviews are fake maybe cause there's nothing good about this place other than a practical location being on rose st... but that's it... food is average and barely no vegan options either the cus cus salad was so bland and no veges just all cheap cus cus filler didn't even taste fresh either.. I waited an hour too .. just everything is wrong with this place"

"This hotel is located in a fascinating, hip area of Melbourne. The hotel has a great lobby, nice roof bar with a view of downtown Melbourne, and decent restaurant but there are great places to eat nearby. The rooms are clean, smallish, but very well appointed. The staff was super helpful and friendly."
