The opening of The Olsen Hotel in Melbourne’s prestigious South Yarra was sure to open with a bang to say the least. Bright lights and upbeat sounds from a three-piece band welcomed guests to this exclusive and modern hotel. Exquisite rooms were opened for visitors to admire, each displaying some culture and entertainment. On level 14 – penthouse suites, an artist was dabbling in life drawing, in another room was a poet, and another the crème de la crème of living – the John Olsen Penthouse Suite.
If you want to live it up like a star, treat yourself and your deserving guests to a stay in the John Olsen Penthouse Suite. Immerse yourself in the spa deck overlooking the glorious surrounds. Or in the cooler months, sit by the fire with a satisfying coffee, courtesy of the coffee machine in your state-of-the-art kitchen. Space is no concern with many bedrooms and accompanying ensuite, you would be sure that you were living the high life.
The Olsen Hotel offers guests 229 elegant five-star suites that are infused with the lyrical works of revered Australian landscape artist Dr John Olsen. Breathtaking mural and sculpture greet you on arrival and large prints adorn all hallways and suites. This boutique Melbourne hotel is complimented by a day spa and two delicious restaurants.
One can sleep soundly on Art Series Signature bedding, plunge into the spectacular glass bottom pool with Chapel Street shoppers below, work out in our state-of-the-art gymnasium or step out for some retail therapy. These South Yarra accommodations offer plentiful natural light and are thoughtfully appointed with 42” flatscreen televisions, wireless internet access and complete kitchenettes. For a longer stay settle into an exclusive art inspired residential suite.
Olsen is regarded as one of Australia’s greatest living painters and won the Archibald Prize in 2005 for his portrait Self Portrait Janus Faced.
A self-confessed epicurean, John Olsen has a deep appreciation of fine food and wine.
The Bluebottle restaurant name is a tribute to Olsen’s magnificent painting Popping Blue Bottles, inspired by his childhood days spent on Bondi Beach and his love of the sea.
Experience The Olsen – revel in the art of creature comforts.
