Like all hotels in the Curio Collection by Hilton, the Next Hotel Melbourne conjures up tailor-made stories with its high offer and thoughtful design.

Curio Collection by Hilton welcomes the Next Hotel Melbourne as the brand’s first hotel in Melbourne in the global portfolio of almost 150 individually notable hotels. Each hotel in the Curio Collection by Hilton portfolio is handpicked for its distinctive architecture and design, world-class food and beverages, and curated experiences at exciting destinations around the world, while still offering the benefits of Hilton and its award-winning Hilton Honors loyalty program.

Located in the city’s prestigious 80 Collins neighborhood, home to high fashion and hospitality hotspots, the Next Hotel Melbourne opened in 2021 and has since quickly established itself as the hotel of choice among discerning travelers in Melbourne. The property is characterized by a refined interior, inspired by world travel and the local neighborhood of Collins Street near Chinatown and the history of the place as a horse and carriage bazaar in the late 19th century. Fascinating works of art by local artists, versatile art objects and home accessories combine seamlessly with welcoming service and authentic experiences to give every stay a typical Melbourne character.

Comprising 255 elegant rooms and suites, the Next Hotel Melbourne offers a stylish stay experience with thoughtful design details, beautiful linen bedding and thoughtful amenities such as Dyson hairdryers, Melbourne-based Hunter Lab skincare products, a curated minibar stocked with homemade cocktails and local artisan snacks-as well as access to an evolving programme of film, fashion and visual arts events and activities taking place in the hotel rooms throughout the year.

The restaurant and bar la Madonna on the third floor of the hotel offer locals and guests a coveted enclave for food and drinks. Under the direction of Melbourne’s celebrity chef Paul Turner, his remarkable Italian-Asian-inspired menu, as well as a unique barrel aging program for cocktails and spirits, has earned him numerous awards, including Victoria’s best hotel restaurant and a good food Guide chef’s hat. Share small plates at the bar, relax with cocktails, sit in a cabin for devoted dinners, feast at larger tables; or do all this in this gourmet destination that challenges the notion of a traditional hotel restaurant and bar. Meanwhile, on the street side on the ground floor, café Ingresso offers early morning coffee, pastries on the go and lunch.

Other facilities that allow guests to reconnect and recharge their batteries include the Club, an exclusive lounge where guests can refuel, work and relax after the day. Guests can enjoy a continental breakfast, 24-hour refreshments and a sophisticated work area, while an aperitif featuring favourite Victorian drinks and a selection of appetizers is offered every evening. For those who want to stay active at any time of the day, there is a well-equipped fitness center that is open around the clock.

By joining the Next Hotel Melbourne’s unique portfolio, the Curio Collection by Hilton will become part of Hilton Honors, the award-winning loyalty program of Hilton’s 22 different hotel brands. Hilton Honors members who book directly through preferred Hilton channels have access to instant perks, including a flexible payment regulator that allows members to select almost any combination of points and cash to book a stay, an exclusive member discount and free standard Wi-Fi. Members also receive popular digital tools available exclusively through the industry-leading Hilton Honors mobile app, which allows Hilton Honors members to check in, select their room, and access their room with a digital key.
