The 1 Hotels name is synonymous with its signature approach to design, where each property fuses the brand’s DNA with inspiration from each site’s unique natural surroundings, invoking a feeling of homeliness and familiarity.

In Melbourne, the hotelier has partnered with Melbourne design firm One Design Office to explore local influences and to source natural materials. In the hotel’s lobby, visitors to Seafarers will find an exaggerated sense of scale, inspired by the gargantuan rocks and trees found in the Dandenong Ranges. Hotel room colour palettes have also been inspired by the lush greenery and more locally, the Yarra River the property is situated on.

But life in a hotel-branded residence is about so much more than look and feel. The true luxury of hotel living is realised in the five-star amenities and services on offer, making every day at home feel like a holiday, and ensuring your residence is looked after while you’re away. In this article, learn more about life at 1 Hotel & Homes at Seafarers.

Enjoy private dining at home

For Seafarers residents, there is a myriad of dining options on offer. Host catered events or call for a private chef from the hotel’s signature restaurant, who will wow your guests with a fine dining meal cooked from your own kitchen. Like all hotel guests, Seafarers residents can also enjoy in-home room service, with the added luxury of gourmet pantry stocking available on request.
