Five new hotel openings in Australia in 2021 and 2022

The Ritz-Carlton Melbourne

When the Ritz-Carlton Melbourne opens in the heart of the city in mid-2021, it will be the tallest hotel in Australia, with “sky” hotel check-in located on level 79 and 263 luxury rooms with panoramic views of Melbourne. A day spa, restaurants and bars and a 500-seat ballroom will also be part of the property’s offering.

The launch of the Ritz-Carlton Melbourne follows the return of the Ritz-Carlton brand to Australia with the Ritz-Carlton Perth opening on Australia’s west coast in 2019.
