The hotel building itself was originally constructed in 1926 and has a long history as part of Melbourne’s hospitality landscape. Over time, it has evolved to meet changing market demands and guest expectations. The property currently operates under the ibis Styles Kingsgate Hotel brand, which is part
of the global ibis Styles network owned by Accor.

The ibis Styles brand has its origins in All Seasons, which was established in Australia in 1980. In 1999, All Seasons was acquired by Accor, integrating the hotel into a global network of midscale and economy hotels. In 2011, All Seasons was rebranded as ibis Styles globally, reflecting a more modern, design focused approach to economy accommodations. The hotel was taken over by its current management in 2014, accompanied by a major refurbishment to modernize the property and align it with ibis Styles
brand standards.

Since then, the hotel has evolved into a vibrant, midscale property catering to both business and leisure travelers, balancing affordability with a stylish, contemporary guest experience. Its central location and design-led concept have helped attract a diverse clientele, including domestic and international visitors.

It is not a hotel, it’s a brothel for street sex workers.
Pros:

I walked out and asked for refund

Cons:

There was a sex worker running around the lobby completely naked yelling “he took my car keys and my phone”

Great location would go back again.
Pros:

Staff were lovely and helpful. Location very central a block from Southern Cross station.

Cons:

Some of the breakfast was cold and a lot of the croissants were burnt. Walls are very thin and at one stage I could hear one person snoring but a different room the shower was on.
