PARKROYAL Monash Melbourne offers a community-based living concept with its natural day-lit restaurant and bar complementing the adjacent meeting spaces. The hotel offers a desired “third place” for our guests in this new social hub. Accommodation choice of 250 rooms and suites provides a connection to the local culture with earthy textures and tones that are reminiscent of the Australian landscape.
For wellness experiences, guests could enjoy the outdoor swimming pool surrounded by landscaped gardens and the 24-hour fitness centre, managed by Snap Fitness, one of the world’s premier gym operators. From business meetings to seminars, corporate dinners, and wedding, the hotel features a range of meeting and event spaces, including a 375sqm ballroom that seats up to 210 persons.
