After opening a Le Meridien Hotel on Bourke Street this week, Marriott will open the city’s first Ritz-Carlton next week, and has no plans to slow down.
Hotel giant Marriott sees only blue skies ahead for the Melbourne CBD after unveiling its latest offering, the city’s first Le Meridien Hotel, and as it prepares to cut the ribbon next week on its most ambitious project to date, a Ritz-Carlton atop a skyscraper next to Southern Cross Station.
Fuelling his optimism, Mr Hunt said the new Le Meridien would be 80 per cent full in its first month of operation with more than 80 per cent of bookings coming from its loyalty program.While the hotel has been given a boost by the Grand Prix, Mr Hunt said occupancy and asking rates were improving every month across the Marriott portfolio.
The only market segment yet to return to pre-pandemic levels was MICE because of a lack of airlift capacity.
