Peppers Docklands Melbourne is entering an exciting new chapter, following a bold refurbishment that brings urban edge and refined sophistication together in one seamless guest experience.
Since assuming management in 2024, Panache Hotel Group has taken a measured, data-led approach to enhancing both guest experience and asset performance. After investing time in understanding the property and its guests, this transformation marks the next natural step – future-proofing the hotel while remaining true to its premium brand DNA.
The refurbishment spans guest rooms, corridors, the lobby and public areas. Elegant new carpets, fresh paintwork, upgraded lighting, and refurbished doors have given the hotel a modern, premium feel. Sculptural LED lighting also allows the team to curate mood and energy across different parts of the hotel – whether it’s for a lively weekend, major event, or a relaxed weekday stay.
The transformation is anchored by a striking new design language that blends refined sophistication with Melbourne’s renowned urban edge.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the reimagined lobby – a dramatic arrival experience that sets the tone for the entire guest journey. Sculptural full-height curved joinery, Italian natural marble, and hand-applied gold leaf walls create a sense of understated grandeur. The transition from light-filled public areas to more intimate zones is both intentional and immersive, layered with warm ambient lighting, bronze accents, and tactile finishes.
Across the property, mineral-inspired tones and high-performance materials continue this narrative – from soft, elegant carpets to rhythmic patterning and acoustic enhancements. Every detail has been curated to evoke movement, mood and meaning – a seamless fusion of style, function and hospitality.
The next chapter will see the repositioning and rebranding of the hotel’s restaurant, with a bold new concept designed to engage guests and attract strong local foot traffic.
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.
Panache Hotel Group manages a growing portfolio of Australian properties and aims to double its presence across Australia and New Zealand by the end of 2026. Known for its agile, innovative approach, Panache transforms underperforming assets into market leaders – turning properties into places guests love and owners trust.
