## Story

Conveniently located on one of Melbourne’s most iconic laneways, this brand new, design-led hotel provides the perfect base for smart, savvy travellers who can experience more for less in the heart of the city’s best shopping, dining and cultural attractions.

Offering incredible value without compromising on quality, each of the 312 modern guest rooms have been thoughtfully designed to offer a seamless and comfortable stay and feature special touches such as a study nook, speedy WiFi, walk-in power shower and an ‘Express Recharge’ zone designed to deliver a comfortable and restful overnight boost with premium bedding, choice of firm and soft pillows and black-out blinds.

As part of the brand’s signature perks, guests can kick start their day with a complimentary Express Start Breakfast that includes everyone’s favourite hot and cold options or for those in a rush, there’s the choice of the Express Start Breakfast Grab & Go option instead.

Set amongst Melbourne’s majestic heritage buildings, boutiques, and hole-in-the-wall cafes, Holiday Inn Express Melbourne Little Collins boasts a fresh, contemporary design, with hints of New York attitude thanks to the feature wall of black and white mosaic tiles, exposed copper plumbing and glowing vintage feature lights that line the ceiling. Plus, the interior design of the expansive dining room showcases an exposed brick feature wall, vintage lamps, contemporary furniture, and vibrant red seating that provides a striking contrast to the white marble bar counter front.

To celebrate the official launch of Holiday Inn Express Melbourne Little Collins, the hotel is offering rates starting from $175 per room per night valid for bookings from now until 27 April 2022 for stays from 28 February 2022 until 27 April 2022.

With a commitment to sustainability, Holiday Inn Express Melbourne Little Collins is on track to achieve Green Engage Level 1 Certification Partner status and is targeting a minimum 4.5-star NABERS Energy & Water rating after 12 months of operation. In addition, the hotel is committed to reducing plastic and has phased out single use plastics with Zip Taps located through-out the hotel.

Holiday Inn Express is one of IHG’s brands with over 3,000 hotels globally. The new opening is the eighth Holiday Inn Express for Pro-Invest Hotels, following the opening of Holiday Inn Express & Suites Queenstown and Holiday Inn Express Sydney Airport.
