Dorsett Melbourne will welcome guests this week when doors for Dorsett Hospitality International’s second Australian property open. Dorsett Melbourne will open in the city’s CBD on 18 April 2023.
Located at 615 Little Lonsdale St at the southern end of the CBD, Dorsett Melbourne will be a key component of West Side Place, a $2.4b development by Far East Consortium. West Side Place will add vibrance and a brand-new precinct to the heart of Melbourne city by attracting both local Melburnians and travellers alike.

Andrew Jessop, Australian CEO of Dorsett Hospitality International, says, “Dorsett Hospitality International is proud to be opening a new hotel in Australia’s cultural capital, Melbourne. Off the back of the success of our first Australian opening on the Gold Coast, it was a natural next step to look towards Melbourne which has seen an incredible bounce back in tourism since covid. We look forward to continuing to grow our global footprint and to add to the Melbourne community.”
