The Tailor Accommodation

1 Hotel Melbourne

Overview

Design-Led Luxury Meets City Culture | Brisbane

1 Hotel Melbourne is a nature led city retreat set on the banks of the Yarra River in Docklands. Designed for travellers who value wellbeing, considered design, and a strong connection to place, the hotel pairs natural materials with generous river-facing spaces and a calm, intentional arrival experience, all within easy reach of Melbourne’s CBD.

Well positioned for guests who want access to the city without being immersed in it, 1 Hotel Melbourne offers a sense of openness that feels rare in an urban setting. The location at 9 Maritime Place places you beside the river, while interiors rich in timber, greenery, and natural textures support a slower pace. Wellness sits at the core of the stay, anchored by Bamford Wellness Spa, an indoor pool, and a Technogym-led fitness offering.

Why We Love It

  • Riverfront position in Docklands with CBD access that stays easy
  • A nature led design approach that feels grounded and considered
  • Serious wellbeing credentials through Bamford Wellness Spa and hydrothermal facilities

Location

Docklands, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Positioned on the Yarra River, with direct access to the waterfront and a large public park connection.

  • With a modern cosmopolitan appeal, combined with elegant and impressive architecture, Melbourne is full of hidden laneways and arcades that provide endless hours of entertainment and intrigue. Federation Square links the beautiful Yarra Valley riverside precinct with the heart of the city centre. Intertwined throughout Melbourne are vibrant boutique producers, multitudes of restaurants serving exquisite cuisines, and an eclectic collection of cafes catering to Melbourne’s reverent coffee culture.

    Melbourne can be known for having very fickle weather – with four seasons known to occur in one day.
