Accor, the largest hotel operator in Australia, has today announced the signing of Novotel Melbourne Box Hill, a new-build hotel set to open in January 2025.
The hotel will be located in the heart of one of Melbourne’s most vibrant suburbs, Box Hill, and aims to offer a relaxing accommodation experience.
Novotel Melbourne Box Hill will feature 132 guestrooms and conference and events facilities including a 200-capacity ballroom. Guests will be offered a variety of dining options, including an all-day restaurant, lobby bar/café and a rooftop bar. Guests can also enjoy the hotel’s day spa, sauna, wellness centre and gym.
The Novotel Melbourne Box Hill is owned by APH Holding, a Melbourne-born asset management and realisation company. Built on three pillars: safety, stability, and sustainability, APH Holding is committed to delivering on its commitments to devise projects that offer measurable benefits to the community, create local jobs, and build for future generations of Melburnians.
"We are delighted to be partnering with Accor on this exciting development. Novotel Melbourne Box Hill will be a flagship for the area, and we are confident that it will become a popular destination for both locals and visitors to Melbourne. The hotel will have access to public transport and retail amenities and will be an appropriate asset for Melbourne’s much needed second CBD which should promote leisure and business,” said Johnson Zhang, CEO of APH Holding.
Box Hill is an outer suburb of Metropolitan Melbourne, located approximately 14 kilometres east of the CBD. Following a recent construction boom in Box Hill, it has been dubbed “Melbourne’s second city”.
