Discover Melbourne’s Newest Boutique 5-Star Hotel: Lanson Place Parliament Gardens

Lanson Place Parliament Gardens is ideally located just moments away from Melbourne’s bustling city centre, allowing guests easy access to the city’s vibrant arts, culture, shopping, and culinary scenes. Yet, stepping into the hotel feels like entering another world—a peaceful oasis where history whispers through every corner while modern sophistication speaks to the present.

A Journey Through Art, History, and Thoughtful Design

The experience begins the moment you arrive. As you step into the lobby, you’re greeted by a breathtaking 40-metre ceiling installation inspired by the native Melaleuca paperbark tree, designed by renowned Melbourne artists. The installation gracefully sweeps across the ceiling, its layers peeling away like the pages of a manuscript, an homage to the building’s former life as the Salvation Army Printing Works. This artistic masterpiece is just the beginning of a visual journey that continues throughout the hotel, where over 450 commissioned artworks and sculptures from local artists adorn the interiors, blending heritage with modernity to create a serene and thought-provoking atmosphere.

Each element of the hotel’s design has been carefully curated to reflect Melbourne’s cultural richness, seamlessly blending the old with the new.
