With a bold exterior, this Art Series hotel sits in the fashionable area of Melbourne suburb South Yarra on the popular Chapel Street. Rooms at Art Series – The Olsen wouldn’t be complete without art by John Olsen himself, the inspiration and namesake of this hotel. His prints are scattered around the whole building and you’ll likely spot an original too – just ask the in-house art curator who can give you a tour of Olsen’s work. Unique features really make this hotel stand out, from the long pool, part of which hangs over the building for a swim over the street below, to the bright blue bicycles which are available to rent from reception (at extra cost) for a great way to whizz through the city. For a day rate you can also hire a Smart Car for longer journeys. The brilliant location means you can live like a local and thoroughly explore the nooks of Chapel Street. Laden with boutique shops, it is a haven for vintage clothes, and a host of independent bars and restaurants are all within walking distance of the hotel. A 15-minute drive takes you to downtown Melbourne, where you can get lost in the iconic Melbourne laneways, stroll around the Royal Botanic Gardens or watch a match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
