Oakwood Premier Melbourne to debut in October

The luxury apartment brand is running ahead of schedule

LUXURY SERVICED APARTMENT brand Oakwood has earmarked October 2021 for the Australian debut of its Oakwood Premier brand, which will be housed in a 40-storey mixed-use development on the banks of the Yarra River in Melbourne.

Unlike several developments which have been pushed back as a result of the pandemic, Oakwood Premier Melbourne is running ahead of its originally scheduled 2022 opening. The brand’s debut will be the 10th property in the Oakwood Premier stable and will feature 392 rooms and apartments. Of this, 132 have been designed as studios for short-stay guests with the remainder outlined as one and two-bedroom apartments for those looking for mid-term and extended stays.

Within the property, guests and visitors will be able to access a rooftop sky bar, which is due to open before the end of the year. Hotel facilities will also include an all-day restaurant, lobby bar, fitness centre, lounge and games centre, meeting, conference and function rooms, co-working spaces and two outdoor green zones on Levels 5 and 6.
