Grand Hyatt Melbourne

Unlock you inner street artist and leave your mark in Melbourne as you join Grand Hyatt Melbourne on its Melbourne Unlocked accommodation package.

Partnering with one of Melbourne's renowned graffiti and art studios, The Blender Studios, guests will embark on a private three-hour immersive street art tour, guided by those who know best - local street artists.

Starting at the hotel, guests will be guided down Melbourne's famous hidden alleyways and shown a side to the city that only few know about. As they explore one of the world's largest public galleries, guests will learn about famous street artists, their key works, techniques used and the role these artists have played in making Melbourne one of the world's most iconic destinations for street art.

Along the way, guests will get to sample some of Melbourne's famous coffee before being invited to leave their VERY OWN mark on one of the city's hidden walls by spray-painting their portrait from a pre-cut stencil* - the ultimate Melbourne souvenir!

The experience will then continue with a VIP tour of The Blender Studios and its gallery space, Dark Horse Experiment, where guests can meet and talk with practising street artists while enjoying some light refreshments. In a final burst of creativity, guests will be invited to paint stencilled street art on a canvas to take home with them before returning back to the hotel.

As seekers of more, committed to delivering memorable moments at every turn, Grand Hyatt Melbourne is thrilled to offer this unique street art tour as part of its luxury package collection. The Melbourne Unlocked package is available from mid-May through to the end of August 2019 and includes:

  • A luxury stay in a Club or Suite room.
