The 76 Most-Anticipated Hotel Openings of 2025

1 Hotel Melbourne

When the 1 Hotel Melbourne opens in March, it will form part of Seafarers, a $450 million mixed-use development by Riverlee that will be home to luxury residences, a waterfront public park, multiple F&B offerings, and the 277-room hotel with 114 residences. The property—designed by local firm ODO in collaboration with SH Hotels & Resorts—will boast the brand’s signature biophilic design showcased via reclaimed timber from the site’s heritage wharf and rail bridges that will capture Melbourne’s natural charm.
