There are many places to stay in Melbourne but how many of them really want to brag to you that you are in Melbourne? Stay local when you go global and love where you are!
Melbourne offers a year round calendar of compelling reasons to visit - from the annual Winter Blockbuster Art and museum exhibitions, to the daily events at the Penguin Rookery on the St Kilda Pier to the creative melting pot of Abbotsford Convent Arts Precinct on the Yarra, and the AFL Premiership season... Ok and the International Cricket, Golf, Grand Prix, Tennis competitions, the numerous food festivals, the International Comedy Festival, The Melbourne International Film Festival, The Melbourne International Arts Festival, Design Festivals...... it's a wall to wall events city and St Kilda is a buzzing hotspot... Stroll the beach, jump on a tram and love every moment in Melbourne!
Melbourne is well known as a design city so when in Melbourne why not live like a Melburnian and stay in a place where you can be take part in the creative experience!
Picture this.... you let yourself in, hang up your hat on the Ute butterfly coatrack, put your feet up in the expansive Pippijoe upholstered bamboo couch and be mesmerized by the dappled light of Marc Pascal's butterfly chandelier while sipping on a local bubbly or microbrewery beer. Or have a Cup of T2 invigorating Melbourne Tea out of David Golightly Life! tableware. See how amazing bamboo cabinetry with a powdercoated pressed metal splash-back & recycled messmate bench-top by John D Waters of Roseadora can be.
Experience designs beyond your imagination by the immensely talented and awarded textile artist Sara Thorn. Enjoy her acrobat rugs and mermaid throw alongside the Matt Butler Zaishu stools. Let your gaze travel to Saras customised hand carved wooden chair in the style of Louis XIV in the study. It is upholstered in her cotton/linen collage lace screen print and illuminated by her Berber Ladies Digital Print lampshade. The jarrah in this study is recycled from Port Melbourne Pier and along with the dining table and the kitchen benchtops made of recycled messmate are great examples of prize winning wood worker John D Waters bespoke furniture.
So relax amongst the creative vibes or set up your laptop and get ready for that meeting. Snack on a supper hamper full of local delicacies and be crooned to by a range of Melbourne musos all available by playlists on the iPod iTouch. Step out to famous St Kilda restaurants and humble time honoured eateries, catch a show at one of the many venues on your doorstep, slip down to the pier at sunset and see the penguins come in. Soak up a spa at the St Kilda Sea Baths or stay in and browse a selection of books about Melbournes must see destinations and magnificent and sometimes mangy history.
Plan your next day of Melbourne adventures with the Watermark Architecture Guide, the Melbourne Dreaming Guide, the Design Guide, the Handmade in Melbourne Guide, The Melbourne Foodies Guide, The Wallpaper City Pocket Guide, the Hide & Seek Guide or The Melbourne Encyclopedia.
Roll into bed in a room so softly lit by Pene Durston's lampshades made of recycled pianola-rolls (Night & Day by Col Porter) before you fall into luxurious slumber on the cushion top queen mattress in Caitlin Kloogers organic linen and hemp "Nests" upholstered bed. Feel rapturously enfolded in ironed Blessed Earth organic cotton and wool bedding with a Spacecraft quilt cover and your clobber casually draped over the Matt Butler Profile Chair covered in a David Bromley drop sheet! Marvel at the whisper quiet of the prize winning FanAway overhead and the simple elegance of the TrackStyle plantation shutters made from a by-product of LP Gas production!
Notice the quietness and peace of The Nest! located at the back of the garden block yet in the centre of bustling St Kilda.
Tumble out of bed refreshed and enjoy the streaming easterly light - well I guess we can't guarantee the weather - but we can guarantee the luxury of the Methven satin-jet shower and the Raymor tapware. Check your hair in the Cindy-Lee Davies laser cut mirrors before you hit the streets and follow your nose to pastries and coffee at Il Fornaio, the Galleon, Miss Jacksons, D'Chirico or stay in and tuck into a gourmet breaky hamper of fabulous local produce.
The combined effect of all these prize-winning designers, creators and innovators is way more than the sum of their parts. Allow yourself a few days to notice the loving references to Mirka Mora, along with FromWoopWoop Designs, Nicola Cerini, Make Me Iconic, Greg Bonasera, Panelpop, Bern Ermmlichs, Dick Smith and Skippy (on Nylex Plastic).
