Overview
Melbourne's inner north suburb of Coburg is set to score a shiny new addition, with Intercontinental Hotel Group revealing plans to open a Holiday Inn design hotel on Sydney Road.
Slated to be up and running by 2020, the 150-room hotel will be a huge win for a pocket of Melbourne that's not exactly brimming with great accommodation options. It'll boast sweeping views across town and the Coburg Lake Reserve, while a new onsite bar and all-day dining offering is sure to prove as popular with locals as with the guests.
As for looks, this hotel's steering right away from the usual Holiday Inn vibe. The bold, mirrored glass design is the work of acclaimed architects Hachem, whose previous projects include the likes of Om Nom dessert bar and the newly revamped Baroq House.
