Apartment owners on the premises of a luxury Melbourne hotel are seeking to quash plans by Australian Open organizers to use the hotel to quarantine players ahead of the Grand Slam.

The apartment owners at the Westin Melbourne are concerned for their health and never agreed to international players quarantining at the hotel, their lawyer, Graeme Efron, told Reuters on Monday.

"My instructions are to get an injunction. So at this stage, that's where we’re going," Efron said.
