W Melbourne

The Mint Partners was engaged to open Melbourne’s first-ever luxury lifestyle hotel in February 2021 under the W Hotels banner. MINT set the brand strategy, Rebel Between The Streets, along with the architect’s design narrative, Reveal to Revel.

MINT rebelled against industry norms and challenged the status quo by not allowing media to photograph or film inside the hotel until opening day and by slowly revealing information at key milestones, we built excitement and had media clamoring to capture the first look.
MINT curated the hotel’s official opening with a major media call in the lead up to the Australian Open and invited Melbourne Mayor Sally Capp, securing all major TV networks.
