Attention to detail is certainly not spared at United Places Melbourne, one of the city’s recent additions to the hotel scene. Melbourne’s upscale South Yarra neighborhood is the perfect backdrop for the thoughtfully designed property, which offers high-end amenities and a personalised concierge service.

Darren Rubenstein, property developer, and first-time hotelier, dreamt of United Places as the intersection of hotel and home; its twelve suites each meant to be spacious living quarters, a true home away from home. “United Places is a creative platform, built upon my very own experiences in design, travel, and hospitality. I wanted to create a ‘home’ for the traveler seeking experiences that celebrate locality” says Rubenstein.

Rubenstein has worked with a number of Australia’s most esteemed creatives to bring his vision together. Celebrated design firm, CARR was commissioned for the hotel’s architecture and interiors, while Melbourne creative studio, Projects of Imagination created the branding. Award-winning Chef, Scott Pickett runs the ground-floor restaurant, Matilda, which offers guests complimentary breakfast daily and in-room dining.

Upon arrival, guests are greeted by the building’s stunning yet unassuming facade and ring the doorbell. They’re then introduced to a member of the expertly-trained staff and whisked down the hallway and up to their rooms to be checked-in. No need for a lobby or bulky check-in process. “The United Places team will be as present or discreet as the guest would like”, explains General Manager, Kurt Bunyard, “ensuring their every need is catered to – from valet laundry service to private picnic set-up and everything in-between. It’s all about a personal experience and personal space.”

The entire property is comprised of nine one-bedroom suites and three two-bedroom suites, each with its own personality and fitted with high-tech appliances, automated drapes, and pre-set lighting moods. With its velvet drapes, 100% organic cotton sheets, hardwood floors, and ultra-luxe double rain showers encased with one-way mirrors, the rooms at United Places offer excellence at every touchpoint.
