Bates Smart

Description

The new Hilton Melbourne Little Queen Street hotel is an exquisite new chapter within the heritage Equity Chambers building. Paying homage to the beloved building, Bates Smart has infused 1930s glamour into Melbourne’s first Hilton hotel.

“The new building is a restrained and respectful response, providing an elegant backdrop to the existing building,” says Bates Smart director Julian Anderson.

To complement the calm and ordered system of the facade, Bates Smart created a breathtaking reception using our Buck nubuck leather wrapped around batons to create gently curved profiles on the walls and ceiling.
