Byron Bay's new boutique hotel gets set to open

Raes has announced its new boutique hotel, The Bonobo by Raes, will open in the heart of Byron Bay this June, with bookings now open. 

Designed as "contemporary hotel and lifestyle destination", The Bonobo features flexible accommodation, a lobby lounge for all-day dining and drinks, and a mix of wellness and retail experiences, as well as a rooftop pool. 

“The Bonobo introduces a more social expression of Raes in the centre of Byron Bay," says Marty McCaig, group general manager of Raes. 

"It’s been shaped as a hotel people can move through with ease - whether they’re staying, meeting friends for a drink, or dropping by for a wellness treatment."

Following the opening of its Double Bay studio in October, Reset will extend its wellness offering to Byron Bay. Reset at The Bonobo will feature cedar saunas, ice baths, a eucalyptus steam room, magnesium bath and vitamin C–infused showers, alongside a private treatment room dedicated to LED light therapy, facials and restorative body treatments. 

Treatments will be available to both hotel guests and the wider Byron Bay community.

The Bonobo will comprise 33 hotel rooms alongside four one-bedroom, 28 two-bedroom and nine three-bedroom residences, all managed by Raes and suitable for both short and extended stays. 

There will be the option to connect with adjoining rooms to create larger multi-bedroom residences. 

The hotel’s food and beverage offering will be crafted by two-hatted Raes Dining Room executive chef Jason Saxby.
