Element Melbourne Richmond – Hotel Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"First impressions? Marriott chose a tucked-away location, east of central Melbourne on the Yarra River, for its first Element hotel in Australia. The property is quiet, without much buzz, but its charming lobby-lounge, featuring deep armchairs and a fireplace, is a pleasant spot to hang out—particularly in the evenings, when the hotel offers free drinks and snacks. What's the backstory? Element is Marriott's eco-conscious, health-focused brand. Aside from the riverfront location, the green features here are relatively subtle: LED lighting, water-saving taps, and—a neat touch—free bikes to borrow. Tell us all about the rooms? What the guest rooms lack in character they make up for in natural light, which pours in through floor-to-ceiling windows. Those recovering from jet-lag will appreciate the excellent soundproofing, cozy beds and comfy sofas (in even the smallest rooms). Upgrade for a generous balcony with skyline views. Is there a charge for Wi-Fi? Wi-Fi is strong and free. Drinking and dining—what are we looking at? The Mint Lane Restaurant and Bar offers a comprehensive breakfast buffet with an emphasis on healthier options like omelettes, fruit, and yogurt. Lunch and dinner are decent, too—a vegan burger with pomegranate molasses is an unexpected highlight—but look elsewhere for a lively scene. And the service? Service is delivered with typical Australian warmth. What type of travelers will you find here? An eclectic bunch of business and leisure travelers, plus sports fans attending games at the nearby Melbourne Cricket Ground . What about the neighborhood? Richmond, one of Melbourne's most exciting quarters, has hip bars, great Vietnamese food, and interesting shopping. The hotel is slightly removed from the action, but trams running past the front door will put you in the thick of things within five minutes. Is there anything you'd change? Although you can pick up snacks and drinks from reception, there are no mini-bars in the guestrooms—presumably to encourage healthy eating habits. Any other hotel features worth noting? The hotel's 24/7 gym is well equipped, but hitting the path along the Yarra River is arguably a more pleasant way to exercise. Bottom line. This comfortable, low-key property gets the basics right and benefits from a riverside perch." - Dan F. Stapleton

We had a fantastic stay at Element Richmond. The property is modern, spotless, and beautifully designed — the lobby alone is a visual treat! Its location next to the tram station made getting around Melbourne effortless, and the pricing was very reasonable.||A big thank you to Susie, Sanjam, and Jayrick for the warm welcome and thoughtful amenities. Special appreciation to Celestine, who checked us in twice with genuine warmth and professionalism. The team’s hospitality made our stay truly memorable. We’ll definitely be returning!

I think it’s outstanding. I have stayed in countless Marriott hotels in the US and this one in Melbourne has wonderful service and the breakfast buffet included was delicious. I posted 2 pictures of what I had and there was plenty more things to choose from that I didn’t have. Laundry and nice room, very friendly service. The staff enjoy being there that is clear. Location is great, only downside is lack of parking. You have to park on Studley Park Road .. but considering all the benefits, it’s still worth it!

Cozy and comfy hotel stay. This was my fourth visit and I love to stay in Element Richard given its location, reasonable room prices and overall experience , they are my key reasons to visit again|And again. I stayed on the top floor this time and had a lovely time. The hotel staff were professional and helpful with my requests and queries. The hotel offered car park facility and I love their security gate with a digital card operation. I also liked their welcome gift and their lucky draw. I got 500 bonus points from the lucky draw ;) awesome !

I’ve been staying at the Element in Richmond for the past three years, and it truly feels like my home away from home. Celeste has always gone above and beyond to make me feel welcome every time I visit. She’s friendly, helpful, and always takes the time to make sure everything is just right. The Element is lucky to have her, and she’s a big reason I keep coming back. Not to mention all the other amazing team members and Modesto:)

A great new hotel right on the river. Its in a busy thoroughfare but no noise and great access to transport to attend a game or to commute into the CBD. The hotel was beautiful and the beds comfortable. The staff were also wonderful. The only downside was that unfortunately they only have 25 parking spaces so to avoid parking on the street, make sure you book your parking with the hotel in advance 😊

Absolutely love this place. For us it's far enough out of the hustle and bustle but closer enough for a quick tram ride right into the heart of the action. Rooms are immaculate, service is devine. The surrounds are tranquil.

Excellent experience, the service was exceptional, friendly and professional. Rooms clean and spacious, we had a corner room with district view, bed comfortable. Used complimentary bikes and road along the yarra. Location is perfect for a change of the busy city. Will stay again.
