Here’s a first look at the newly refurbished Peppers Docklands Melbourne.
The hotel has undergone a bold transformation across guest rooms, public spaces and its dramatic new lobby. Here, sculptural full-height curved joinery, Italian natural marble and hand-applied gold leaf walls create a sense of understated grandeur.
The property blends refined sophistication with Melbourne’s urban edge to create a premium, future-ready guest experience right on the concourse of Marvel Stadium. A reimagined restaurant concept will follow soon.
Elegant new carpets, fresh paintwork, upgraded lighting and refurbished doors have given the hotel a modern, premium feel.
The refresh marks a new chapter for the property and is part of Panache’s broader strategy to reinvigorate underperforming hotels across Australia.
“This transformation reflects our long-term commitment to enhancing both the guest experience and the asset’s performance,” said Wilson Bao, Chief Executive Officer, Panache Hotel Group.
“Since taking over in 2024, we’ve taken a thoughtful and data-led approach – listening to our guests, understanding the property’s potential and making targeted investments that deliver impact.
“The result is a fresh, future-ready Peppers Docklands that delivers on its premium brand promise while staying uniquely Melbourne.”
Located on the concourse of Marvel Stadium, Peppers Docklands is the ideal base for guests attending year-round sporting, music and cultural events, with easy access to the Docklands precinct and free city trams just minutes from Melbourne’s CBD.
The hotel’s sleek, contemporary rooms – from Peppers King to Deluxe King Suites – pair distinctive Melbourne style with modern comforts.
Guests also enjoy a range of premium facilities, including an onsite restaurant and bar, 24-hour reception, gym, heated outdoor pool, and complimentary Wi-Fi.
