Location: Melbourne, Australia
Client / Partner: Hilton Hotels; Bates Smart Architects

The Brief

When Hilton reimagined its Melbourne property within the heritage-listed 1931 Equity Chambers building, they sought to create a culturally resonant hospitality landmark. Partnering with Bates Smart, they engaged Juddy Roller to curate street art both inside and outside the building, to embody Melbourne’s globally celebrated street art scene.

Our Approach

Juddy Roller curated and produced a series of site-specific murals that serve as the entrance moment for Hilton Melbourne.

  • Collaborated closely with Bates Smart to ensure seamless integration into the architectural and design vision.

  • Commissioned internationally and locally known artists to deliver a work grounded in Melbourne’s creative identity.

  • Executed the production with precision—high-end finish, contextual relevance, and cultural integrity.

The Outcome

  • The mural transformed the laneway entrance into a dynamic cultural moment, elevating the guest experience upon arrival.

  • Enhanced the hotel’s identity as a luxury venue deeply rooted in Melbourne’s creative culture.

  • Strengthened Hilton’s brand positioning through authentic engagement with local art and heritage.
