Unusual Hotels in Victoria

The Cullen Melbourne – Art Series bursts with visual flair from its exterior to its interiors. Bold, fluorescent-green “pod” balconies jut out at playful angles against a sleek grey façade, giving the building a sculptural, gallery-like presence. Each room and corridor is a canvas, showcasing the vivid, edgy artwork of Adam Cullen, with drips, bold outlines, and striking contrasts reflecting his signature style. Inside, design-forward architecture and curated art tours make it feel more like staying inside an immersive exhibition than a traditional hotel, perfectly matched by its lively Prahran setting.

Avani Melbourne Jazz Corner Residences combines upscale apartment-style accommodation with a live music experience. Located above Bird’s Basement, a renowned jazz club, the hotel features jazz-themed décor and offers guests the rare chance to stay in a space where live performances are part of the atmosphere. It blends the comfort of a serviced apartment with the cultural vibe of a music venue, making it a unique option in Melbourne’s hotel scene.
