The Motley Hotel, a boutique lifestyle hotel with an urban edge, will seamlessly weave into the ornate tapestry of Melbourne’s culturally eclectic community. Located at 205 Bridge Road, Richmond, The Motley is an 8-level, 80 key, five-star beauty that pays homage to the building’s former occupant: a quaint yet popular local seamstress and costumier, Ms Mary Parker.
Developed by Amber Property Group and managed by La Vie Hotels & Resorts, one of Asia Pacific’s leading and fastest-growing independent hotel management companies; The Motley combines an amalgamation of industry, arts, diverse styles, tastes and sounds from bustling Richmond. With rooms designed by interior design studio CHADA, guests are greeted by a uniquely textural experience from the moment they arrive.
Providing rooms with a view, guests can enjoy north facing views over Abbotsford, sweeping across to the Dandenong Ranges. City facing rooms showcase the very best view of Melbourne’s CBD skyline and bustling streetscape of Bridge Road itself.
The Motley Hotel room selection includes the Motley King, Deluxe, Courtyard King, City View King and the Motley Suite – a one-bedroom suite with living space, and a separate bedroom with sweeping views across South Yarra and to the east.
Rooms are priced from $300 for the Motley King. The average room size is 26-27 sqm with the Motley Suite offering 48 sqm of space.
Hotel General Manager Jeremy Nordkamp says, “the opening of The Motley marks a significant milestone for Amber Property Group, as well as the revitalisation of Bridge Road that’s seeing tremendous change. We are incredibly proud to be creating new jobs within our community and further supporting local industry and trade through our partnerships.
The Motley delivers a new level of sophistication to Richmond, without compromising Melbourne’s eclectic and authentic feel, by creating a destination for both travellers and Richmond residents to gather, unwind and enjoy a hyper local dining experience.
We look forward to further connecting and collaborating with our neighbours to showcase the very best of Melbourne’s inner city.”
Further to the above is a curation of three Motley Heritage Rooms, each channelling a completely independent look and feel. Heritage Rooms include Mary’s Room, Tiger Room, and Textured Room for the ultimate textile experience.
Perched above the heritage façade of the building, guests can get into the spirit of Richmond in the Tiger Room, an eclectic mix of animal prints and patterns, and a tiger mural by local artist Justine McAllister.
Conveniently located in the heart of shoppers’ paradise and within walking distance to the best breweries and coffee roasters in Melbourne; The Motley is conveniently positioned with a tram stop directly outside, so travellers can ride like the locals to all that Melbourne has to offer.
The Motley Hotel is all about convenience with Bridge Road and Chapel Street shops, bars and restaurants at its doorstep. The world-famous MCG is a short 15-minute walk away; AAMI Park a 7-minute drive away; the NGV a 12-minute drive away; and the Royal Botanic Gardens a 10-minute drive away.
The Motley is destined to become a boutique space for the urban traveller to rest, play and explore just minutes from the CBD centre.
The Motley will also house an alluring combination of spectacular dining destinations, including a bustling ground floor café and fine dining restaurant that pays homage to its namesake, ‘Ms Parker’.
