PB hotel design editorial

Stacked glass volumes cantilevering over Little Lonsdale Street in Melbourne's CBD announce something architecturally assertive before you've crossed the threshold — a building that treats its facade as a series of displaced horizontal planes, their dark-framed curtain walls reflecting the surrounding cityscape back at itself. voco Melbourne Central is housed within the lower floors of a mixed-use tower developed by IHG, where the podium's dramatic geometry gives way to living green walls cascading down the building's flanks, softening what might otherwise present as pure corporate modernism. Inside, the interiors work a quieter register. Guest rooms are dressed in slate blue — channel-tufted velvet headboards anchoring the palette — with oak-framed bedside tables and geometric patterned carpet tiles that give the spaces a considered rather than merely competent feeling. The arched bathroom openings visible in the upper-category rooms introduce a classical note that sits in gentle tension with the building's exterior language. The restaurant level is the property's most resolved moment: bentwood cross-back chairs and upholstered barrel seats in felted grey share floor space with wide-plank timber, while full-height glazing frames the Melbourne skyline including the distinctive pyramid of Melbourne Central's Shot Tower cone below. An outdoor pool set against the living wall completes a mid-level terrace that frames the city's dense core with genuine compositional intelligence.

"I stayed here for one night in a premium bathtub hotel room. The rooms are spacious, and the large bath overlooking the city is beautiful. The decor was modern, with all staff pleasant. The restaurant food and service were excellent, along with the breakfast the following morning. The pool has a nice view. However, it's very small."

"Great location in the CBD. Plenty of places to eat within walking distance. Reception was polite and quick. Room very clean. They have added Foxtel since my prior visit. Gym is small but still ok. Breakfast was an excellent choice."

"Lovely hotel that is beautifully appointed. Staff very nice and friendly. Dining / breakfast room is very nice with a good selection available. This hotel is in an excellent location and close to all the shops and entertainment that Melbourne is famous for. The elevator system was painful and there were people going up and down struggling to get to where they wanted to go. I was one of them . The swimming pool is nice but as an observer it looked difficult for people to get in and out of as it is elevated. The other downside is that when you are exiting the pool everyone in the bar can see you struggling to get out. Once out of the pool I’m pretty sure that you have to walk back in through the bar to get to your room. At least that’s what I saw people doing and there was water on the floor. Definitely put me off attempting to use it. Overall a lovely stay ."

"We had a week's stay in Melbourne and this was a perfect location for getting around Melbourne and seeing all main attractions, therefore a definite positive. Check in was very easy and seamless especially as we checked in just past midnight. Rooms large enough and extremely comfortable bed and pillows, good bathroom facilities and wonderful shower. Breakfast was exceptional, lovely city views, great choice of breakfast, wonderful coffee (as you would expect in Melbourne) and the staff were brilliant, personable, friendly, attentive and quick to clear tables. The rooftop pool is a very, very small pool and only relevant for a quick dip and not actually swimming, also no sun loungers only tables and chairs Highly recommend"

"The hotel is located in the heart of central Melbourne, the approach is in a small lane off the main road - but that was not too much of a challenge. The hotel has the typical Voco design - very modern, very contemporary and colourful. Our room was comfortable and had nice views of Melbourne city (we had a room on a high floor). Breakfast service was excellent - good options and a nice and bright restaurant. Overall service levels were good, though housekeeping in the room was a bit inconsistent - left you with the impression that it was done in a hurry. There are lots of restaurants at walking distance and tram stop is just a few minutes away."
