Conveniently located near transport links, dog-walking tracks and key attractions like the Albert Park Lake, Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne Arts Precinct, and ANZAC Station, the hotel is well-suited for solo-travelers, hybrid workers, families, and corporate guests seeking extended stays. Stay active while on the road at the hotel's 24/7 fitness center offering a range of strength-training and cardio equipment with LCD touchscreens. The hotel will offer amenities such as self-service laundry and a necessities program for forgotten items that guests can buy, borrow or enjoy for free.  

“As Melbourne continues to grow and thrive economically, we are excited to add to the momentum by welcoming the first Hyatt House hotel to the city, centrally located near a running list of things to do or see” said General Manager, Christian Sujer. “Hyatt House South Melbourne offers a fresh approach to the extended-stay experience with all the comforts travelers need, including well-appointed residential-style accommodations that are also pet-friendly. We're proud to be one of the first hotels in Melbourne to welcome both cats and dogs up to 66 lbs, making it easier than ever for guests to travel with their beloved pets.”   

The opening of Hyatt House South Melbourne signifies the final and most exciting milestone in the broader OASIS Residences development. 

“Hyatt House South Melbourne marks the final and most exciting chapter of the OASIS Residences precinct,” says CJ Wu, Holder East's Chief Operations Officer. “OASIS Residences has set a new benchmark for luxurious living in South Melbourne, and the addition of the 97-room Hyatt House completes the development – offering everything guests need for short or long-term stays, while bringing the precinct's vision for elevated living to life.”
