Accor to Convert Melbourne Hilton to Pullman Hotel

Good news for Melbourne's hotel scene: The Hilton on the Park hotel in Melbourne is set to become the Pullman Melbourne on the Park hotel beginning January 1, 2015. The property will be owned by Accor.

The 419-room property is within walking distance of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Rod Laver Arena, Hisense Arena, Olympic Park and AAMI Park, allowing access to events such as the Australian Open and the Ashes Series.

The existing Hilton on the Park property has an Executive Lounge for travelers staying on the Executive floors. We hear the rebranded hotel will have a dedicated lounge for Accor Le Club Platinum members, who have access regardless of the room type booked or received. The property will also have a day spa.
