Minor Hotels is expanding the Oaks Hotels, Resorts and Suites portfolio with the addition of three Victorian properties this month.

Oaks Vue Suites Geelong and Oaks R Suites Geelong opened under the brand on March 3, with Oaks Melbourne Flemington Suites joining the hotel group earlier this month.

“As we continue to expand our footprint in Australasia, the portfolio additions of Oaks Vue Suites Geelong, Oaks R Suites Geelong and Oaks Melbourne Flemington Suites marks a key milestone in our growth strategy,” said Minor Hotels Chief Operating Officer, Craig Hooley. “These properties not only enhance our diverse portfolio but also underscore our commitment to delivering high-quality, unique experiences for travellers in prime locations.

“We are excited about the future, with a strong pipeline ahead and many more developments to come as we strengthen our presence across the region.” Oaks R Suites Geelong dates back to the 1850s, when it was one of Geelong’s most iconic and grand buildings, and was redeveloped in 2017. Now it serves as a 128-room contemporary apartment hotel that blends modern design with its rich heritage.

A range of room types are available including hotel rooms and one- and two-bedroom apartments, including loft apartments, with expansive living areas, fully equipped kitchens and laundry facilities and private balconies. The property also offers an on-site café which serves breakfast and lunch. The 60-key Oaks Vue Suites Geelong is situated next to Oaks R Suites in the heart of Geelong. Many of the rooms – including studio, one, and two-bedroom apartments as well as family-friendly rooms with bunk – offer park or bay views.

Oaks Melbourne Flemington Suites is set in part of the 25-storey Alexander Lombard Tower at Travancore, designed by renowned architects Fender Katsalidis, with a modern Sky Garden on the 8th floor by acclaimed landscape architect Steve Calhoun for guests to relax. On-site facilities include a fully equipped gym and a range of meeting room spaces for corporate events.

The latest additions strengthen Minor Hotels’ presence in Australasia, ahead of the upcoming launch of Queen’s Wharf Residences Brisbane set to open later this year, the 2026 brand debuts of NH Collection and NH Hotels on Wentworth Street and Mascot, Sydney respectively, and the region’s first full-service Avani Hotel in Mooloolaba on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.
