Amora Herencia Riverwalk Melbourne

Amora Herencia Riverwalk Melbourne is a Richmond hotel set beside the Yarra River and O’Connell Reserve, offering accommodation, dining, drinks and event spaces in a riverside setting. The hotel caters to business travellers, leisure guests and people planning extended stays, with a choice of rooms designed around practical comforts. The Courtyard Queen Room includes a balcony overlooking the central courtyard, while the Deluxe Double Double has two Queen beds and large windows. The Deluxe King is west-facing, with views towards the Melbourne city skyline.

Dining is centred on The Reserve Restaurant, on the ground floor, where guests can expect modern Australian cuisine, local Melbourne produce, an extensive wine list and views across the reserve and river. Bar649 takes a different approach, drawing on the Victorian-era origins of cocktails and the building’s address at 649 Bridge Road. Its drinks list includes signature twists on classics such as the Martini, Old Fashioned, Manhattan and Negroni, alongside a fusion bar menu featuring sliders, skewers and other familiar favourites. Room service is also available for guests who prefer to eat in their room.

The property has a strong connection to Richmond’s transport history. Its facade incorporates what remains of the former Richmond Cable Tram Depot, the first of 15 tram depots built for Melbourne’s cable tram network between 1885 and 1891. The original depot closed in 1927, and the surviving polychromatic brick facade now sits in front of the hotel, which was built behind it in the late 1980s. Historic photographs and further information are displayed around the hotel lobby and other areas.

For larger gatherings, Amora Herencia Riverwalk offers 15 purpose-built function rooms, accommodating up to 250 guests. The Event Pavilion overlooks the parklands and Yarra River, while the Octagon, Bridge and Yarra rooms provide options for more intimate or formal receptions. Wedding spaces range from a 50-person cocktail or seated event in the Octagon Room to larger celebrations in the Event Pavilion, which can accommodate up to 250 guests for a cocktail function. It is a practical choice for travellers wanting accommodation and dining in one Richmond location, as well as conference groups, private events and wedding parties.
