What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
all throughout the hotel, contemporary design is tempered with throwback European influence, the aim being a sort of timeless, cosmopolitan glamour.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Ocean Beach Road's boutiques and galleries sit just outside, leading downhill to Sorrento's calm bay foreshore and scenic walking trails.
The rooms
Spread across three distinct wings, rooms pair green velvet accents and terrazzo details with archival photographs of coastal holidays.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Checkerboard terrazzo surrounds the heated outdoor swimming pool, where cushioned cabanas look out over the bay.
The bathhouse
Subterranean mineral baths include a warm daydream pool and a chilled glacial mist room cooled to six degrees.
Restaurant
CeeCee’s Dining Room
Curved leather banquettes sit beneath a soaring glass conservatory ceiling for Mediterranean breakfasts and long lunches.
At the table
Audrey's serves local seafood overlooking the water, and the historic Conti Bar opens onto a sunlit beer garden.
How it began
Philanthropist George Coppin opened the original limestone landmark in 1875, establishing Sorrento as Victoria's premier seaside holiday retreat.
