Melbourne to get a Four Seasons hotel

Melbourne is to get Australia's second Four Seasons hotel - but patience will be required by would-be guests.

Melbourne property developer Beulah has agreed a deal to bring a Four Seasons Hotel to the Victorian state capital.

It forms part of the new A$2.7 billion development, STH BNK By Beulah.

Four Seasons Melbourne will have 210 rooms within the western tower of STH BNK By Beulah, and will see guests arrive via a Sky Lobby situated on the 63rd floor.

The Hotel will also offer an integrated health and wellness experience, a rooftop restaurant and bar, and multiple event spaces.

STH BNK By Beulah is on track to become Australia’s tallest tower and also to have the tallest vertical garden in the world, Travel Mole reports.

"We are incredibly proud to be a part of the leading-edge STH BNK By Beulah development - this project will set a new standard for luxury in Melbourne," said Bart Carnahan, president, Global Business Development and Portfolio Management, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts (how does he fit all that onto his business cards?).

"We look forward to welcoming guests through our doors in the years ahead."

Guests will enjoy access to planned amenities at STH BNK By Beulah, including the gardens, art and culture spaces, coworking facilities, and more.

Four Seasons Hotel Melbourne becomes the second Four Seasons in Australia, joining the existing Four Seasons Hotel Sydney.

Construction is expected to begin late 2022 and will take approximately five years to complete.
