The interior planning embraces the curvaceous architectural form and creates a journey for guests. Theessence of a boutique hotel experience is achieved as spaces are continually revealedto visitors with elegance, detail and delight. The layering of materials and finishes throughout the hotel is exemplary, and this is consistent within public and private spaces. Common areas are elegant but not intimidating, and guestrooms are serene and calming with personalized detailing.

Crown Metropol is a luxury hotel located in Melbourne, Australia. The hotel was designed by the architecture firm Bates Smart and opened in 2010.

The 28-story building features a sleek and modern design, with a façade of reflective glass and angular shapes. The hotel offers 658 guest rooms and suites, as well as a range of amenities including a rooftop pool, fitness center, spa, and several restaurants and bars.

Bates Smart's design for the Crown Metropol was inspired by the nearby Yarra River and the city's urban landscape. The building's glass façade reflects the changing colors of the sky and the river, creating a dynamic and ever-changing appearance. The use of angular shapes and sharp lines in the building's design was also intended to evoke the city's skyline.

Inside, the hotel features a sophisticated and contemporary design, with a color palette of black, white, and grey. The guest rooms and suites are spacious and luxurious, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of the city.

Overall, the Crown Metropol is a stunning example of modern architecture and design, and offers a luxurious and stylish accommodation option for visitors to Melbourne.
