Southbank Is Getting a New $150 Million Boutique Hotel with a Sky-High Rooftop Bar

A brand new $150 million boutique hotel is coming to Southbank, set to open in September 2025. The 188-room hotel will be developed by Time & Place and MaxCap Group, while operations lie with the Collection by TFE Hotel. TFE Hotels are the same team behind Brisbane's Calile Hotel and the new luxury 102-room hotel coming to Sydney's Surry Hills.

Across a sprawling ten-storey building, Hannah St. Hotel will play host to a new bar, restaurant, lap pool, fully-equipped gym, workspace and rooftop bar.

"What I love about this project is that Hannah St. Hotel will deliver an experience in a neighbourhood that is transforming, thanks to an investment in Australia's largest cultural infrastructure project, into a truly world-class art precinct," TFE Hotels' CEO Antony Ritch says. "Southbank is connected to the best of Melbourne."

"This is a neighbourhood hotel. A building with roots in the community and a place where you're welcomed in to enjoy the hospitality," Time & Place's Tim Price says.

It follows news that the Arts Centre will score her next facelift, as part of the Victorian Government's $1.7-billion Melbourne Arts Precinct Transformation project.

TFE Hotels' new Collection property in Southbank is expected to open in September 2025. We'll bring you more details as they become available.
