Hotel Marvell

Location

Hotel Marvell stands as Byron Bay’s newest and only 5-star Hotel, a brainchild of Yarra Valley Commercial’s Scott Emery. His passion materialised in partnership with close friend, Scott Didier. Drawing inspiration from the Byron Bay locale they both cherish, Scott Emery led the skilled construction crew from Yarra Valley Commercial, as they brought to life an interior dream shaped together with local architect, Harley Graham.

Design

Hotel Marvell’s pedestrian laneway is a triple-height space bursting with lush flora, offering an open, inviting ambience. Each of the 24 rooms are designed to capture sunlight at varying times of the day and feature raw concrete, rich timbers, and a colour palette of burnt orange and dark pinks. Room balconies overlook the vibrant laneway, all enhanced with draping greenery.

Carefully considered and crafted restaurant space Bonito, combines a warm palette with timber-boxed lights, ensuring a serene, noise-controlled dining space. Furniture selected is a combination of relaxed luxury pieces by Satara and Mobilia with the Brass sculptures throughout by Dion Hortsmans.

The rooftop area boasts pool, cocktail bar and informal dining space offering a combination of textured finishes, striking shapes and of course magnificent views!

From the Project Team

After fulfilling his dream of crafting a destination property in a beloved Australian locale, Scott Emery admitted the journey took longer than anticipated. Spanning six years since land acquisition, the team tackled a host of challenges, including the navigation of COVID.  Scott comments, “It was a long build, but the results are impeccable. Each space transitions flawlessly from day to night. I can’t pick a favourite spot.”

Scott celebrates the Yarra Valley Commercial team’s unparalleled dedication, expertise, and craftsmanship that brought this vision to life.

Awards

Yarra Valley Commercial was honoured to receive the Interior Fitout Association’s 2024 award for Best Hospitality Fitout over $2.5M and the NSW/ACT State Interior Fitout award for the Hotel Marvell project.
