Eight years in the making, the dual hotel project will see the launch of Hotel Indigo Melbourne Little Collins and Holiday Inn Melbourne Bourke Street Mall.

Developed by Steadfast Capital, the two hotels will blend modern design with the city’s cultural heritage, incorporating the preserved historic Art Deco facades of buildings Diamond House, Public Benefit Bootery, Allan’s and the York Building.

Together, the new buildings will rise 10 storeys behind these facades above Bourke Street Mall and will be home to the contemporary comfort of Holiday Inn and boutique accommodation of Hotel Indigo. ​ 

Both properties are part of IHG Hotels & Resorts.

“This project has been an opportunity to reimagine the way hotels activate the city,” says Scott Hamilton, general manager of 179-room Hotel Indigo Melbourne Little Collins and 273-room Holiday Inn Melbourne Bourke Street Mall.

“By building upon heritage and layering in art, laneway references and design, the result is something that feels authentically Melbourne.

“This is more than just two hotels. It is a new chapter for Melbourne’s city centre – one that reflects where the city is heading and celebrates where it’s come from.”

The hotels will overlook the newly designed Melbourne Walk retail precinct at Bourke Street Mall.

Holiday Inn Melbourne Bourke Street Mall will feature an all-day restaurant, as well as a 220-square-metre private terrace event space which will offer unobstructed views across Bourke Street Mall and Melbourne’s city skyline.
