"We are incredibly proud that Lanson Place Parliament Gardens has been recognised as the Best New Hotel at the 2026 GHA Awards," said Michael Hobson, Chief Executive Officer of Lanson Place. "This recognition is a wonderful validation of the vision behind every Lanson Place property, namely to offer comfortable, private sanctuaries with a relaxed but unmatched tradition of service.

Being part of the GHA has allowed us to share that vision with an even wider community of travellers, while also giving our own guests access to the valuable benefits of DISCOVERY membership. Being named Best New Hotel is also particularly meaningful as we joined the GHA less than a year ago. This award belongs to every member of our team and marks a strong signal of what lies ahead for Lanson Place."

Marcus Packham, General Manager of Lanson Place Parliament Gardens, added: "This thrilling accolade serves as an endorsement of the passion and dedication of all our team members who go above and beyond, day in and day out, to create a true home away from home for every guest in the heart of Melbourne. We look forward to welcoming new guests from around the world so they can experience for themselves what distinguishes us."

The awards recognised outstanding achievements across GHA's portfolio of 1,000 hotels spanning 55 brands in 100 countries. The accolades celebrate excellence in performance, guest engagement and satisfaction, technology, sustainability, loyalty and collaboration across the alliance.
