An alternative to formulaic big city hotels, United Places Botanic Gardens sits in the centre of South Yarra, opposite the parklands of the Royal Botanic Gardens, and describes itself as ‘a place of connection and rest in the vast and sprawling city that is Melbourne.’

“There’s been raft of recent hotel openings that are changing the way corporate and leisure travellers stay in Australian cities,” says Sarah Bush, Director of The Travel Authority Group.

“From The Calile and The Fantauzzo in Brisbane, to United Places Botanic Gardens in Melbourne and many more in between, exciting things are happening. Our clients love the distinctive guest experiences these places serve up. We look forward to more hotels with personality opening this year.”
