New hotel

Hotel operator Accor has opened the doors of its new hotel within the 55-storey Shadow Play tower at 105 Clarendon St, Southbank.

Shadow Play by Peppers continues Clarendon St’s trend as a future accommodation hub in Southbank, located within walking distance to local tourist attractions, Crown Casino, the Arts Precinct and the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC).

Developed by BPM, the 46-storey hotel features a range of spacious one- and two-bedroom apartments with full kitchen and laundry facilities, as well as floor-to-ceiling windows providing plenty of natural light.

It also includes an array of unique guest spaces and amenities, including an enclosed garden space on the 46th floor, complete with a freestanding fireplace, guest lounge and library with an adjoining patio with bayside views.

“We’re excited visitors to Southbank can now experience Peppers’ unique style and acclaimed hospitality,” Accor chief operating officer Pacific Simon McGrath said. “Shadow Play by Peppers has added a new level of sophistication and luxury to Melbourne’s accommodation offering, which caters perfectly to an increasingly selective global market that is looking for quality, location and facilities of a world-class calibre.”
