The Sebel Melbourne Moonee Ponds will add 97 serviced apartment-style rooms to Melbourne’s inner North West. Spanning eight floors, the property boasts 89 one-bedroom apartments, 8 two-bedroom apartments all complete with balconies and full kitchen facilities. Featuring a fitness centre, meeting spaces, a New York-style restaurant known as Saros, ample underground parking, and a ground floor space will be home to retailers and cafes, leased to external operators.
Located 6km from Melbourne’s CBD, The Sebel Melbourne Moonee Ponds is close to the renowned Puckle Street retail strip and Moonee Ponds Central shopping centre. Moonee Ponds has established itself as Melbourne’s premier racing precinct, experiencing thousands flocking to both the nearby Moonee Valley Racecourse and world renowned Flemington Racecourse, home of the Melbourne Cup.
