Australia will get its second Mövenpick hotel this year, with the opening of Mövenpick Hotel Melbourne on Spencer set for May 2021.

Part of the Accor portfolio, the hotel will feature 172 contemporary rooms, a restaurant and bar, plus a boardroom.

Located a short walk to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, the hotel is poised to attract leisure and business travellers alike.

“We’re delighted to be bringing the Mövenpick hotel brand to Melbourne,” said Accor Pacific CEO Simon McGrath.

“This investment will benefit the local community by providing a choice of even greater accommodation options for visitors to the city and for Accor loyalty guests.

“The city of Melbourne is the perfect location for a Mövenpick hotel, enriching Melbourne’s incredible culinary scene with an outstanding restaurant and bar, and masterfully blending the brand’s Swiss heritage with a top quality hospitality experience.”

Guests will be delighted by the Mövenpick brand’s signature offerings, including a daily ‘Chocolate Hour’, a dedicated cafe serving the brand’s signature ice cream, alongside a range of healthy breakfast options to balance it all out.

Mövenpick Hotel Melbourne on Spencer’s signature restaurant, Miss Mi, will take a modern approach to traditional Asian barbeque and grill signature dishes.
