New hotel opens

Docklands’ first five-star hotel was officially opened last month.

Minister for Tourism John Eren visited Docklands on March 2 to launch the new hotel, after it started operating earlier this year.

The new hotel is located in the M Docklands building on LaTrobe St, and, according to general manager Jeremy Nordkamp, will cater for the increase in tourists to the area.

Capital Alliance developed M Docklands and founder CEO Mohan Du led negotiations to bring the five-star hotel to the area.

“This luxury hotel has already significantly boosted tourism, with a successful opening over the summer sporting season that has seen almost all suites fully booked,” Mr Du said.

“We anticipate further foot traffic to the area which will transform Docklands into a 24-hour destination,” he said.
