Hyde Melbourne Place is a new independent hotel accommodated in a “complete design”, a new building with fully integrated architecture and interiors, carried out by a single team. The design of the building derives from the particular architectural and cultural identity of Melbourne generally but more specifically, the actual site in the east-end of the CBD.

The mass and detail have a twentieth century quality, reinforced by the highly modelled tinted concrete and brick façade and the operable shutters to every guest-room. Sensibilities around space, volume, light, colour, texture and detail are consistent from the urban scale down to the cabinet hardware lending a sense of substance, a complete vision, each element reinforcing and amplifying the unique character of the place.
