“Australia has seen
growing demand in the select-service tier and we look forward to introducing
the Moxy brand to this market with Moxy Melbourne South Yarra,” said Paul
Foskey, Chief Development Officer, Asia Pacific, Marriott International.
Moxy
Melbourne South Yarra will open in the heart of Melbourne’s lively South Yarra
neighbourhood at 30-32 Claremont Street. Guests will be a short walk from
Chapel Street - Melbourne’s trendy shopping and entertainment strip - and South
Yarra Station.
From here, guests can easily navigate the city’s major tourist
attractions, including the Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne Cricket Ground and
the the city’s celebrated restaurant, bar and arts scene in the Central
Business District.

access to a large veranda.
Guests looking to keep fit can also take advantage
of the hotel gym, fully equipped with the latest cardio and strength training

next generation of travelers is seeking more than a comfortable bed and
room-service burger. They want to stay in hotels with an approachable price
point that offer bold, contemporary design and hyper social experiences that
tap into the local culture,” said Sean Hunt, Area Vice President, Australia,
New Zealand and Pacific, Marriott International.
“Moxy is the perfect fit for
the curious and adventurous, and I’m thrilled we’ve found the right location
