Gourmet Traveller 2026 Hotel & Travel Awards — Boutique Hotel

Hotel Marvell has been named Boutique Hotel in the 2026 Gourmet Traveller Hotel & Travel Awards. The judges praised the hotel's 'tropical brutalism' architecture, the leafy laneway home to the Byron Bay Oyster Bar, and the Horizon Rooftop Bar — 'in a town that's overwhelmed with backpacker clichés and influencer fatigue, Hotel Marvell feels refreshingly grown up.'
