Element Melbourne Richmond is pleased to launch its Ultimate Sleepover Experience, a one-of-a-kind hotel takeover designed to celebrate the easing of Melbourne’s lockdowns.  

Available to book from 2 November, 2020*, the Experience features activities and games spread throughout the hotel’s guestrooms and open spaces.

On the hotel’s top floor (which features Insta-worthy views over Melbourne’s CBD), eight guest rooms have been transformed with karaoke mics and screens, classic retro arcade games (including PacMan, Space Invaders, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Star Wars and more), air hockey and foosball tables and toys to keep guests of all ages entertained for hours. Also on the top floor, a meeting room has been converted into a pop-up cinema, complete with classic movies on rotation and freshly made complimentary popcorn.

Throughout the hotel’s public areas – including its lobby lounge, restaurant and outdoor laneway —  guests can embrace their inner V8 driver with a 3D car racing simulator, challenge friends to a game of pool or table tennis, chill out in the hotel’s igloos or participate in a wine tasting, cocktail masterclass or cooking demonstration with the hotel’s chef, Paulson Xavier.

To ensure guest safety as COVID-19 restrictions ease, the Ultimate Sleepover Experience will be available – on a complimentary basis – to those staying at the hotel. All areas will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitised every hour, and signage will be posted to remind guests of social distancing guidelines – including restrictions on the number of people allowed in each room or activity at any one time, fitting with the government’s one person per four square metres regulation. There will also be signage to ask those enjoying the Experience to sanitise all equipment before and after use with wipes provided. The hotel’s signature Hand Sanitiser Bar – featuring hand sanitisers from companies like Four Pillars, Archie Rose and Mr Black – will be stationed in the hotel lobby, and individual bottles of hand sanitiser will be available throughout all activations and experiences.

“It’s been a long few months for Victorians, and the easing of restrictions calls for celebration – in a safe way, of course. Following the success of our recent hot tub and silver screen package before lockdown, we wanted to expand Element Melbourne Richmond’s offering further. Enter the Ultimate Sleepover Experience, which is intended to be a one-stop-fun-shop for those of all ages looking to get out of the house, reconnect with friends and family and enjoy some well-deserved down time,” said Harry Singh, Element Melbourne Richmond’s General Manager.

“We are so excited to welcome visitors back to the hotel for the ultimate staycation, and we look forward to hearing which karaoke songs are a hit, what high scores are won on the arcade games and seeing what delicious dishes our guests create in the cooking demonstrations.”
