Singapore’s prestigious COMO Hotels & Resorts is bringing its signature wellness-led luxury to Melbourne’s St Kilda Road, with a striking new property scheduled to open in early 2028.
The development marks COMO’s first east coast Australian location and follows the success of COMO The Treasury in Perth. Occupying the first nine levels of The Carter Building, the hotel will feature 102 rooms alongside a dedicated COMO Shambhala wellness centre – a full floor devoted to holistic treatments, thermal experiences, and a 20-metre indoor lap pool.
Designed by the renowned Kerry Hill Architects, the property will showcase a bluestone façade that honours Melbourne’s architectural heritage whilst maintaining the studio’s signature aesthetic of natural materials and refined spatial design. The hotel will also offer family-friendly accommodation options and access to COMO’s global recognition programme for residents of the 54 private apartments within the building.
‘Melbourne has seen an influx of new hotels in recent years, but few are in truly great locations,’ said Orchard Piper Director Luke McKie. ‘This property is perfectly situated for the city’s major events and will mark a return to a more understated and timeless luxury experience.’
The St Kilda Road location positions guests ideally for accessing Melbourne’s business district, cultural attractions, and major sporting venues — destinations increasingly served by private jet charter for executives and VIPs seeking efficient travel solutions.
For business travellers and luxury tourists visiting Melbourne, COMO’s arrival represents another premium accommodation option in Australia’s cultural capital. For executives and VIPs travelling to Melbourne, Adagold Aviation offers seamless private jet access to match COMO’s refined experience.
