OUR BEDROOMS
At first glance, the rooms at Hotel Indigo Melbourne Little Collins feel like a calm retreat from the city. But take a closer look, and you’ll start to notice the references. Quiet details that speak to Melbourne’s layered personality.
The most obvious is behind the bed. The feature wall isn’t just decorative. It’s a reimagined map of Melbourne’s central grid. The layout is abstracted but recognisable, a patchwork of lines and angles that reflect the structured disorder of the streets below. At the heart of it, a single jewel-like light marks your location, showing the exact site of the hotel on Little Collins Street.
The idea is simple. Wherever you’re from, wherever you’re headed, this is your anchor point. A glowing reminder of where you are, and an invitation to explore what’s around you.
The rest of the room follows that same idea. It’s not themed, but it is connected to the neighbourhood. Shapes, materials, and textures offer subtle nods to Melbourne’s architecture and design culture. There are references to the city’s blend of heritage and modernity, its quiet corners and bold statements.
Furnishings are eclectic. A mix of contemporary forms and vintage-inspired finishes. There is gloss, in places. The crystal-like chairs, for instance, catch the light and shift tone depending on the time of day. But there is also warmth, through wood, textiles, and layered lighting.
The in-room robe is another detail worth noting. Inspired by the Melbourne overcoat, it’s designed for wandering. Whether you’re stepping out into the hallway or just brewing coffee by the window, it feels like part of the city has followed you upstairs.
The minibar avoids the usual suspects. Instead, you’ll find a rotating selection of local spirits and snacks. Some come from Fern Bar & Dining downstairs. Others are from independent producers the team has discovered across the city.
Lighting matters too. It is soft, adjustable, and designed to give you control over the mood. Mornings feel different to evenings. The room allows you to move at your own pace, to notice the light, the sounds, the shift in energy as the city moves outside.
From the window, you catch glimpses of rooftops, laneways, and people doing everyday things. It is not a postcard view. But it is a real one.
The room does not shout for your attention. It invites it.
