Behind a charming, heritage-listed facade — once the heart of a bustling print works — lies a beautifully restored five-star retreat. Perfectly positioned between Parliament House and the serene Carlton Gardens, these spacious studios, elegant rooms and thoughtfully designed apartments provide a tranquil base to explore Melbourne’s vibrant culture. Each morning begins in the Albert Lounge, where a generous buffet breakfast is served in sleek, sophisticated surroundings.
Come evening, Chronicle 502 Bar & Dining invites you to savour the best of Australia’s seasonal produce and signature cocktails in a stylish, contemporary setting — all under the gaze of a breathtaking 40-metre art installation by acclaimed Indigenous artists from Melbourne.
Whether you're venturing out or winding down, enjoy a dip in the serene, heated 20-metre indoor pool, keep active in the 24-hour fitness centre or relax in the spa area. From world-class dining and theatres to landmarks like the Melbourne Cricket Ground, this hideaway places the very best of the city just moments away.
