HYDE Melbourne Place is a lifestyle destination located in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD. Designed for those seeking more than just a place to stay, HYDE offers a blend of accommodation, dining, entertainment, and cultural experiences, all thoughtfully integrated within a vibrant urban setting.

HYDE Melbourne Place breaks the mold of the typical design hotel. Crafted by the renowned Melbourne architects Kennedy Nolan, the hotel transforms hospitality into an expressive, sculptural, and boldly unapologetic experience. Housing 191 rooms and a highly sought-after rooftop restaurant, the building serves as a vibrant stage where design and culture seamlessly intersect.

Mornings at HYDE start with the sound of laneways coming alive, your coffee ritual unfolding nearby, and the city’s energy inviting you to explore without an agenda. From bold street art and independent coffee houses to rooftop cocktails and hidden bars, HYDE Melbourne Place places you in the center of Melbourne’s most iconic moments.

The accommodation offers a modern, refined space designed with lifestyle in mind, the ideal retreat between gallery hopping, market strolling, or garden wandering. Curated dining experiences celebrate Melbourne’s rich multicultural food scene, with options ranging from casual eats to elevated plates featuring local produce and international flavours.

This month, we had the privilege of curating two extraordinary evenings with Seabourn, the world’s leader in ultra-luxury cruising — first at the acclaimed Supernormal in Brisbane, and then at the elegant Work Club Global in Sydney. Both gatherings celebrated not only the launch of Seabourn’s highly anticipated 2027–2028 cruising season, but also the unveiling of a voyage unlike any other: Seabourn’s first-ever Pole to Pole Grand Expedition.

Champagne is more than a celebratory drink — it’s a symbol of quiet luxury, thoughtful entertaining, and the art of living well.
