Hilton today announced the signing of The Motley Hotel Richmond, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, marking the brand’s debut in Australia.

Signed as part of a franchise agreement with Amber Property Group, the 80-room hotel is located in the heart of Richmond’s historic Bridge Road, within walking distance of a variety of restaurants, bars, and the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The addition of the Motley Hotel Richmond, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, reflects Hilton’s commitment to accelerate its lifestyle category growth,” area vice president APAC and head of Australasia, Hilton, Paul Hutton, said.
