W Hotels Opens the Doors to W Melbourne, Unveiling Its Second Hotel in Australia | WebWire

Look forward to staying here although will be a while before borders reopen. :) Stay safe.

It looks great. Really felt like a real W.

i had a great stay at W Brisbane and am looking forward to try this W in Melbourne as soon as possible.

pretty sure it’ll be a great addition to W folio.

Nice to see there being more option for Melbourne... now if only we could actually get there!

Would love to try them when I able to return to Melbourne

Booked Qantas for a return to Mel in September if they fly and if they allow visitors without long quarantines
I expect to be vaccinated before that and have a Covid text prior to departure.I'm loyal to the Grand Hyatt but would certainly try them out to see how they compare

You are one optimistic rogue, unless you’ve got the right passport - fingers crossed for you!

Personally can’t wait to stay at the new W Melbourne when we are allowed back in. I suspect we will be waiting for the Aussies to be vaccinated first though, so the fact I’m vaccinated might not help much.

Just curious - what's Modern Australian cuisne? or Electric? sounds a bit shocking.

David

Haha good point. Not sure about Electric and when I google'd nothing comes up. Modern is fusion. Here are few images on modern/fusion modern australian cuisine - Google Search

Could it be eclectic (quirky, creative) food? Typo?

Ah! You are absolutely correct. I just went back to W MEL website and saw it states ECLECTIC. My bad, sorry.

Thanks to DELee also for questioning the cuisine :D

Here's the description:

Since we recently celebrated Australia Day, just wondered if Modern Australian Cuisine included lamingtons... Thanks for the search link.

Also was curious about Curious - will be interested to see if their bespoke cocktails list includes anything current....

David

I'm pretty sure Modern Australian cuisine will be closer to western food with some Australian modifications.
Kangaroo steak :D

Hotel Email?
 

I have an upcoming stay over the weekend of the AO finals. Does anyone have the hotel's email?

Thanks!
