Melbourne to get new hotel

MELBOURNE’S new spectacular skyscraper hotel, now under construction, has been named as the Crown Metropol and will open early in 2010.  Located opposite the brand new Melbourne Exhibition Centre, the 658-room property features a wave-like shape in a striking futuristic design.  The stunning podium entry will prominently show a bluestone, diamond shaped pattern in the floor of the lobby, while all hotel rooms will have a Manhattan, boutique style feel.  The hotel will also feature a 27th level day spa and relaxation area, whilst on the top floor the 28 Sky Bar is expected to become a favourite city oasis.  The Crown Metropol will also have its own exclusive dining facility offering a Gordon Ramsay’s Maze restaurant, the chef’s first venture in Australia. www.crownmetropol.com.au
