The Interlude logo

The ultra-luxurious finds an unlikely home at The Interlude, an experiential stay set in a former prison in Melbourne’s creative north. Jaw-dropping art, unique experiences and gastronomic delights throw the needle forward for the standard of the city’s heritage-rich stays. An intimate collection of just 19 suites, located less than 10km from the CBD, the property features a hatted restaurant focused on the region’s finest produce, led by the former Head Chef of Cumulus Inc. You’ll also find what is perhaps the city’s most unique wine bar: a detail-oriented venue serving over 500 varieties, located within converted bluestone cells – one of which was Ned Kelly’s own. Below floor level lives a spectacular candlelit pool, available for private therapeutic bathing and poolside drinks. For almost 200 years, this was a place people dreamed of escaping. Now, it’s a place you’ll never want to leave.

Luxury in unusual setting. We enjoyed the two nights we spent here and tried to imagine what it was like as a 'visitor' of His/Her Majesty in the original prison building. Nowadays the setting is opulent, easy to reach by tram and next to a still-growing shopping centre. We ate at the in-house restaurant and will do so again in the future.
