What’s the backstory

Born in the heart of the South Wharf precinct, this remarkable hotel is a testament to Melbourne's ongoing transformation. It is built on former industrial lands that once housed warehouses and docks. Today, these historically significant docks are overlaid with a modern marina, bustling restaurants, and trendy boutiques, all embodied by the Pan Pacific Melbourne itself. Architecture enthusiasts should note that the structure's innovative design, inspired by its harbor-front location, marks a significant chapter in the city's urban evolution story.

Creating more than just an overnight stay, Pan Pacific Melbourne also brings to life the essence of the city's vibrant culture. It was launched after a multi-million dollar re-branding and renovation from what was formerly the Hilton Melbourne South Wharf. Behind the rebranding was a clear intention: to reflect the changing times and modern vibes of the city, without losing sight of the historical roots.
