An Affordable Urban Retreat: Element by Westin, Melbourne Richmond hotel launches new 'Restore Floor' and restorative package, elevating its holistic wellness offering

Element by Westin, Melbourne Richmond 
Nestled along the picturesque Yarra River landscape at 588b Swan Street Richmond, Element Melbourne offers a welcome escape from the bustling CBD; an eco-conscious, dog-friendly urban retreat where guests can unwind in style, and affordably.

The recently appointed 'Restore Floor' is purposefully designed to nurture guests' wellbeing, featuring dedicated spaces that focus on key pillars of wellness. Guests can replenish their bodies by indulging in an infrared sauna session either solo or with a friend. The Massage Room offers plush massage chairs where guests can sink in and ease away their tension. The Balance Room provides a tranquil meditation space, allowing guests to find peace and serenity. For a bit of fun, the hotel also retains its beloved Karaoke and Arcade Rooms to ensure a holistic approach to wellbeing.

The first Element by Westin hotel in Australia, Element Melbourne Richmond features 168 naturally lit rooms, including five deluxe balcony rooms, relaxed communal spaces and a range of wellness offerings, attracting business and leisure travellers since its opening in 2019. Dog friendly accommodation is also available so guests can bring their furry friends along. Like its mother brand Westin, wellness acts as a thoughtful focus for the hotel, encouraging guests to tailor their stay to their individual needs.

Element Melbourne believes in promoting a balanced lifestyle, whether guests are on holidays or a business trip. With existing wellness-focused offerings such as the Hotel's 'Bikes to Borrow' program, guests are invited to get active and meander along the Yarra River's scenic cycling trails. The light, modern rooms are smartly designed to help guests feel at home, with signature Heavenly® Beds by Westin for a restful sleep and spa-inspired bathrooms, complete with rain showers, fostering an environment of complete relaxation. The hotel also features a 24/7 state-of-the-art Motion Fitness centre, equipped with Technogym equipment that allows guests to personalise their workouts via an app.

Built green from the ground up, Element Melbourne has made a commitment to sustainability through eco-conscious touchpoints such as water efficient taps, energy saving LED lighting, motion sensor lighting and an extensive recycling program. Priding themselves on a small plastic footprint, the hotel features an inhouse water filtration system that encourages guests to refill their water bottles. These sustainable elements extend to electric vehicle charging stations, carbon neutral flooring and CO2 sensors monitoring indoor and carpark air quality.

Mint Lane Restaurant and Bar, the hotel's on-site dining venue, serves up a wholesome menu throughout the day. Featuring sustainable, fresh, and seasonal local produce, the signature menu draws inspiration from contemporary Asian cuisine and includes carefully crafted cocktails. Building on their focus for wellness, fresh herbs are picked daily from the on-site herb garden. There is also a gorgeous Al Fresco area, where diners can bring their dogs along to enjoy this serene outdoor space.

For guests on the go, the restaurant offers Grab and Go options, or there is an onsite Restore Pantry that offers a range of locally sourced snacks and beverages while supporting local small businesses.

For those looking to host corporate or special events, the hotel offers 3,000 square feet of event space, complete with onsite catering options, expert planners and a unique outdoor terrace boasting panoramic views of the Melbourne skyline.

While Element Melbourne heroes adventure and movement, it doesn't take itself too seriously. Instead, thoughtful design and intuitive service standards speak for themselves, curating an accommodation experience that champions wellbeing, sustainability, and personal exploration.

Guests can now book the 'Rest and Restore' package here, with limited introductory rates from $249 per night, which includes one hourly pass per person, per day, for the infrared sauna or massage chairs, as well as complimentary access to the Balance Room, Karaoke and Arcade Rooms as well as Bikes to Borrow.
