Opening on September 5, the new QT Melbourne — part of Australia’s acclaimed QT Hotels & Resorts design collection — is concluding a social media campaign inviting artists from across the country to interpret a single number between 1 and 101. The competition encouraged creative freedom, and submissions have ranged from dance, photography and sculpture to paintings, songs and performance art.
This playful project helped introduce the hotel and establish its personality within Melbourne’s energetic urban scene. The property, designed by architect Angelo Candalepas, features 188 guestrooms and 24 lifestyle apartments. Located on Collins Street, the hotel sits amid one of the city’s most fashionable shopping districts, offering guests easy access to boutiques, dining and cultural attractions.
QT Melbourne blends bold, contemporary design with locally inspired touches, reflecting the creative spirit of the competition that launched it. By inviting artists to express a number in their own medium, the hotel tapped into Melbourne’s vibrant arts community and created a memorable, participatory way to mark its arrival.
With its stylish accommodations, central Collins Street address and playful cultural programming, QT Melbourne positions itself as a distinctive choice for travelers seeking design-led hospitality in the heart of the city.
