Rydges Flagstaff Gardens Melbourne

Rydges Flagstaff Gardens Melbourne is the rebrand of the former Radisson on Flagstaff Gardens, taken over by EVT from 1 January 2026 for a full refurbishment of its 184 rooms, restaurant and public areas. The hotel is trading under an interim name during the works, with completion and the Rydges relaunch expected around November 2026.

The place

Overlooking Flagstaff Gardens in the northern precinct of the Melbourne CBD, near Queen Victoria Market and within the Free Tram Zone.

The concept

EVT took over management of the former Radisson on Flagstaff Gardens Melbourne from 1 January 2026, with a full refurbishment of all 184 rooms plus food-and-beverage outlets and public areas ahead of a rebrand to Rydges Flagstaff Gardens Melbourne — a genuine operator and brand change from Radisson Hotel Group, not a refresh under the same flag. The property is trading under an interim "Flagstaff Gardens Hotel Melbourne" name during the works, with the restaurant's dinner service paused from July to October 2026 and the gym closed for part of the same period while renovations run.

Dining & wellness

Food-and-beverage outlets are being refurbished as part of the works; a temporary Level 1 pop-up restaurant is covering breakfast service during the closure, with room service available while dinner service is paused.
