It’s hard to believe that Byron Bay didn’t have a five-star hotel until 2023. Enter: Hotel Marvell. This newcomer brings a new level of luxury to Byron with the town's first-ever rooftop bar and pool, plus a sparkly and sustainable onsite restaurant.
Hotel Marvell blends seamlessly into the natural beauty of the neighbourhood, located just a short five-minute stroll from the sandy shores of Main Beach. In sync with Byron’s tropical vibes, the 24-hour lobby welcomes you in with lush greenery, jungle-esque aesthetics and earthy tones. Design guru Harley Graham of Harley Graham Architects was in charge of the five-star fit-out, which flows into the 24 ultra-stylish hotel rooms and suites.
What are the rooms like at Hotel Marvell?
Each room is dressed to impress with Bemboka and Eddie bedding, premium Leif toiletries, Baina beach towels, a smart TV and a private balcony for that extra touch of luxe. You’ll have no trouble switching off for the night with high-tech block-out blinds and bedside touchscreen lights (which also light up by sensor if you take an after-dark trip to the loo). The mini-bar is well-stocked with sustainable sips and snacks for those midnight cravings, and your wake-up call comes in the form of a Nespresso coffee machine with pods by local roaster Zentveld’s Coffee.
What are the best restaurants and bars at Hotel Marvell?
Hotel Marvell’s lobby restaurant, Byron Bay Oyster Bar and Seafood Restaurant, channels the energy of lively oyster bars in New England and New York. The venue’s state-of-the-art oyster tank can hold up to 6,000 oysters, with these ocean treasures from around Australia and New Zealand cracked open right before your eyes at a live shucking station. Dive into a dozen served hot with mornay, baked miso or garlic butter crumb, or slip them back straight with mignonette, ginger and soy, or Bloody Mary sauce. For something more filling, the menu offers a selection of small and large seafood plates, along with grilled meats and seasonal salads.
As the sun dips, head upstairs for some sips at Byron Bay’s first and only rooftop bar, Horizon. Here, you can watch the sky transition from tranquil blue to bright orange, while taking in the gentle coastal breeze and enjoying signature cocktails.
What's the pool like at Hotel Marvell?
The luxurious rooftop pool provides guests with a serene and stylish retreat from the crowded main beach. Located on the third level, the pool is heated, ensuring balmy swims year-round. From the orange sun loungers, you can take in stunning panoramic views of Byron Bay and order cocktails from the rooftop bar.

A one-night stay at Hotel Marvell starts at $420, and you may as well splash out with room service, poolside drinks and a dinner date at the Oyster Bar. After all, you’re in Byron baby!
