Element Melbourne Richmond, Australia’s first Element by Westin hotel, is gearing up to opens its doors on 12 June 2019, bringing with it the eco-focused brand’s amenities and commitment to helping guests maintain a balanced lifestyle while on the road.
Element Melbourne Richmond is located in Richmond’s Botanicca Corporate Park and has been designed with today’s healthy, active traveller in mind. The hotel features clean, modern and bright spaces throughout, a nature-inspired, eco-conscious design philosophy and wellness-focused amenities, promoting a life in balance for its guests.
Reservations are now open at Element Melbourne Richmond and to celebrate, the hotel is extending a pre-opening offer of $188 per night for an Element Room. The offer is available for bookings made from now until 12 June 2019, for stays until 31 August 2019. Members of Marriott International’s travel program, Marriott Bonvoy, will receive an extra 10% discount on top of this.
Brought to life by local architects and interior designers Rothelowman, Element Melbourne Richmond embraces the brand’s eco-conscious ethos with a building that curves to follow the water’s edge and uses a reflective curtain wall facade to encapsulate the surrounding landscape. Oversized windows draw nature into the building, blurring the inside from the outside to create a connection to the natural environment. Inside, water-efficient taps and fixtures, energy-efficient appliances and LED lighting, an extensive recycling program and more represent just some of the eco-friendly amenities. Neutral tones inspired by the Australian flora surrounding the hotel and soft textures are woven throughout.
Each of the hotel’s 168 spacious, light-filled, rooms and suites feature floor to ceiling windows that draw nature in, spa-inspired bathrooms, signature Heavenly Beds and free high-speed Wi-Fi, creating a relaxing space for guests to unwind and recharge. A select number of rooms also provide energy-efficient kitchenettes, ideal for long stay guests, or those travelling in groups.
