Dorsett Melbourne is an artistically inclined urban oasis in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD – close to Southern Cross Station and everything else the cultural capital has to offer.
Its 316 stunning guest rooms and spacious suites were designed by award-winning architects Cottee Parker.Â
Style and substance
Wellness facilities within the hotel include a pool area that oozes class – with the high ceilings and light-filled spaces enough to get anyone excited about working out and winding down. It has rows of comfortable lounges around a heated indoor pool, a spa, sauna, steam room, wellness room, and state-of-the-art Technogym equipment in the gym.Â
The restaurant, Port Bistro, champions local produce and boasts a menu designed with sustainability front of mind and ingredients sourced from Victoria. The Club Lounge is a modern and thoughtfully designed space perfect for corporate travellers to work and relax, offering complimentary drinks, canapes, snacks, fruit, tea and coffee, as well as private meeting spaces. It is accessible to all guests staying in Suites and Executive Rooms and can also be added to reservations, for a small additional fee.Â
Get artsy
Dorsett Melbourne guests can enjoy a signature cocktail in Jin Bar, surrounded by some of the vibrant artworks by local artists adorning the walls of the creatively curated hotel. The hero artwork is a sculpture garden in an outdoor atrium that only guests of the hotel can see. Looking down at the art from any of the rooms, it looks like a fantastical garden – a red-skirted towering six-metre-high totem surrounded by flower-like sculptures that look ready to spin around like a carousel at a fair.Â
The Diva Garden sculpture was created by Portuguese-born Marta Figueiredo, and it captures the fun, creative and vibrant allure of this hotel, and the reinvention of this super cool south-west pocket of inner Melbourne.Â
