A SPECTACULAR NEW
RIVERFRONT SETTING

Seafarers is situated on a 220-metre expanse of absolute, uninterrupted riverfront located along North Wharf, Melbourne. Celebrating the site’s maritime past, its design centres on the restoration and re-use of the heritage-listed Goods Shed No. 5 and its distinctive travelling crane: the only intact remnants from the days before containerisation, when the river was the city’s principal port.

Forming the ground floor of the 1 Hotel, the repurposed goods shed will open onto the wharf, enlivening the riverfront with world-class hospitality offerings inspired by Melbourne’s unique café, bar and dining cultures.

To the shed’s immediate east, the city’s newest, waterfront parkland—Seafarers Rest—a 3,500 square metre landscaped haven, combining thoughtful placemaking with lush plantings, grassy berms and mature trees.

A green space unlike any other in Melbourne, its graceful beauty welcomes you on approach to the building’s soaring porte cochere, providing separate residential and hotel lobby entrances.

Seafarers will change the way you view the Yarra, in every sense. More than a river, more than a setting for sport and leisure, more than the city’s modern day social heart, it will reveal itself as Melbourne’s most diverse, most fascinating and most easily explored neighbourhood.
