Radisson Hotel Group has marked a new milestone with the debut of Park Inn by Radisson in Australia, unveiling the Park Inn by Radisson Melbourne Carlton. Located beside Princes Park, just 4 kilometers from Melbourne’s CBD, the stylish new property brings the brand’s signature feel-good, stress-free hospitality to Australian shores for the first time.
A Connected Stay in the Heart of Carlton
The hotel features 89 contemporary guestrooms with bright interiors, minimalist design, and sweeping views of Princes Park. Guests can unwind in inviting spaces that reflect Park Inn by Radisson’s upbeat style or enjoy a refreshing dip in the hotel’s outdoor pool. Families and groups benefit from connecting room options, making it an ideal choice for both leisure and extended stays.
Perfectly positioned between Carlton and Parkville, the hotel places guests just minutes from Lygon Street, Melbourne’s beloved “Little Italy.” The area buzzes with family-run trattorias, wood-fired pizzerias, gelato bars, and indie bookshops, making it a cultural hotspot from morning espresso to late-night dining.
For those seeking a balance of nature and city life, Princes Park lies right at the doorstep, offering tree-lined paths, running tracks, and open lawns. Melbourne Zoo is a short 10-minute walk away, while major medical institutions such as the Royal Children’s Hospital and Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre are within one kilometer.
The location also enjoys seamless access to tram routes, the University of Melbourne, and the city’s biomedical precinct, making it convenient for visiting academics and professionals.
Kathy Zha, General Manager of Park Inn by Radisson Melbourne Carlton, said:
“We’re proud to introduce Park Inn by Radisson to Australia from a spot that feels authentically Melbourne. Our guests get the best of both worlds — the city’s vibrant energy within minutes and the calm of Princes Park right outside. Whether here for meetings, medical visits, game day, or a weekend on Lygon Street, we’ll keep things easy, comfortable, and uplifting for guests.”
Eat, Meet, and Connect
The hotel lobby houses a café serving barista-brewed Piazza D’Oro Italian coffee, made with responsibly sourced beans. An all-day grab-and-go menu caters to busy travelers, offering breakfast options, light lunches, and evening pizzas, perfect for guests on the move between meetings or exploring Melbourne’s laneways.
Wellness and Sustainability at the Core
Guests can take advantage of the outdoor swimming pool, while a new wellness hub is currently under development, featuring an infrared and steam sauna as well as a cold plunge experience for total relaxation.
In line with Radisson Hotel Group’s sustainability goals, the property is designed for a greener stay, operating with up to 80% solar-powered energy, using high-efficiency water fixtures, and maintaining drought-tolerant native landscaping that minimizes water usage.
The hotel’s multilingual team, fluent in more than ten languages, ensures every guest enjoys a welcoming, personalized experience, a hallmark of Park Inn by Radisson’s global hospitality standard.
A Strategic Step for Radisson Hotel Group in Australia, Tim Cordon, Chief Operating Officer for the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia Pacific at Radisson Hotel Group, said:
“Park Inn by Radisson is designed for today’s traveler, simple, upbeat, and great value. Park Inn by Radisson Melbourne Carlton is a strong first step for the brand in Australia, combining a connected location with efficient, sustainable operations that owners appreciate. We’re excited to build on this momentum across key city and leisure markets in the region.”
With its vibrant design, central location, and sustainable ethos, Park Inn by Radisson Melbourne Carlton is set to redefine mid-scale hospitality in Melbourne and marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Radisson Hotel Group in Australia.
