The fine print

Need-to-know information for guests at this property

Please also note, there is a 1.4% credit card surcharge when using a credit card. For pre-paid bookings the card holder must present a valid credit matching to their photo ID on check in.

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 accommodation. 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 travellers, 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.

Guests are required to show a photo identification and credit card upon check-in. Please note that all Special Requests are subject to availability and additional charges may apply.

Please inform ibis Styles Kingsgate Hotel in advance of your expected arrival time. You can use the Special Requests box when booking, or contact the property directly with the contact details provided in your confirmation.

Guests under the age of 18 can only check in with a parent or official guardian.

A damage deposit of AUD 100 is required on arrival. This will be collected as a cash payment. You should be reimbursed on check-out. Your deposit will be refunded in full in cash, subject to an inspection of the property.
