Is it possible turn a place that was built to be inhospitable into a warm and welcoming entertainment and lifestyle precinct? Well, that’s just what they’ve done at the former Pentridge Prison site in Melbourne, in a development that is home to not one, but two hotels.
Towering over the former prison blocks is Adina Pentridge, a fresh and fun hotel featuring two-bedroom, one-bedroom and studio apartments, all with floor to ceiling windows. That means sweeping views across the city from almost every room.
Adina Pentridge shares its public spaces with the boutique hotel The Interlude. That includes the incredibly transformed former B-Block, which houses the superb wine bar Olivine and a breathtaking subterranean pool dug out of the bluestone and basalt.
The hotels also house the hatted restaurant North & Common, where highly acclaimed chef Abhi Dey is serving up vibrant dishes keenly attuned to the season.
There is also so much else to do in the precinct – shops, cinemas, and of course the Pentridge Prison tours, which give you a real insight into how this place used to be.
Adina Pentridge really is a unique Melbourne destination. Lock in your stay now.
