Stay in historic Pentridge Prison transformed into a unique luxury hotel that is a part of Pentridge's billion-dollar transformation into a trendy precinct.
The jail, which once housed infamous figures like Ned Kelly, retains its historical charm with features such as bluestone walls and barred windows. The suites were created by merging multiple cells, requiring months of careful renovations. Modern design elements, plush furnishings, and opulent bathrooms with marble finishes now ensure guests enjoy both luxury and history in harmony.
Hotel holds one of the most unique subterranean swimming pools, built after months of excavation through basalt. You can also unwind in the Reflection Garden, a former exercise yard, now reimagined with landscaped greenery and fire pits.
You can also try wine tastings at the adjoining Olivine Wine Bar known for its extensive 500-label wine list, wander through art galleries showcasing local art, or try food at the nearby North & Common restaurant, set in a former mess hall.
The hotel also respects its location’s deeper history, as the Pentridge area was once a sacred gathering place for the Wurundjeri people. Before its reopening, the site underwent a ceremonial cleansing and Welcome to Country led by a Wurundjeri Elder, emphasizing its dedication to inclusivity and cultural recognition.
With only 19 suites, The Interlude offers a boutique experience that feels exclusive yet approachable. The hotel joins historical narratives with luxury, giving guests the chance to engage with Melbourne's past while enjoying first-rate wellness and hospitality services.
For anyone looking for a truly unique stay in Melbourne, Interlude should tick all the boxes.
