Hilton Melbourne Little Queen Street Breathes New Life Into Melbourne’s Historic Equity Chambers Building by international hotel owner and developer M&L Hospitality designed by leading Australian architecture studio Bates Smart.
Built in 1931, Melbourne’s Equity Chambers was renowned for its architectural style and Italian Romanesque and Gothic detailing. In its reimagining as Hilton Melbourne LQS, the building’s old world-charm has been respected and original features restored, whilst seamlessly connecting a modern six-level extension with a 16-level tower to the historic site.
Within its historic walls, the old and new have been cleverly combined, with sandstone, European Oak and bronze materials, creating a traditional yet modern palette against the backdrop of grand high ceilings, marble stone finishes and upholstery in hues of navy, taupe and royal blue.
I had the pleasure of staying there recently for a long weekend. A wonderful experience topped of by breakfasts at Luci, the in house restaurant, and drinks at The Douglas Club, a classic bar with a dramatically moody atmosphere!
Below are my images from the stay.
Hilton Melbourne Little Queen Street is located at 18 Little Queen Street, Melbourne VIC 3000.
