Lanson Place Parliament Gardens
Behind a charming, heritage-listed facade — once the heart of a bustling print works — lies a beautifully restored five-star retreat. Perfectly positioned between Parliament House and the serene Carlton Gardens, these spacious studios, elegant rooms and thoughtfully designed apartments provide a tranquil base to explore Melbourne’s vibrant culture. Each morning begins in the Albert Lounge, where a generous buffet breakfast is served in sleek, sophisticated surroundings.
Come evening, Chronicle 502 Bar & Dining invites you to savour the best of Australia’s seasonal produce and signature cocktails in a stylish, contemporary setting — all under the gaze of a breathtaking 40-metre art installation by acclaimed Indigenous artists from Melbourne.
Lanson Place Parliament Gardens sits in the heart of Melbourne, just moments from the city’s cultural and business hubs. Overlooking the tranquil Parliament Gardens, it’s a short walk to Parliament House, the Princess Theatre and the high-end boutiques of Collins Street. Fitzroy Gardens and Carlton Gardens (home to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Royal Exhibition Building) are nearby, while Fed Square and the laneways of the CBD are easily accessible.
The hotel is located approximately a 35-minute drive from Melbourne Airport (MEL). Airport transfers are not included in your package, please plan accordingly.
