About
Walter Scott Law designed and John Mahon first licensed Middle Park Hotel in 1889. Melbourne has come a long way since then. It has matured to become a cosmopolitan city that pulses with a vibrant energy. The love affair with major sporting events, restaurants, architecture, cafe lined streets, bars, art galleries, spacious parks and village like inner suburbs make this city one of the world’s most liveable.
Middle Park Hotel encompasses much of what makes Melbourne great. All of the above mentioned elements can be seen here. The position at Gate 1 of the Australian Formula One Grand Prix makes it hard not to embrace all things sport. Not that we want to. We love it and you can enjoy a wide range of live sporting events at the hotel.
The hotel entrance is marked with a red canopy, reminiscent of a Fifth Avenue apartment. Upon entry, guests are greeted by the original grand Victorian staircase heading up to hallways laid with plush insignia carpet and finally to 25 guest rooms that exude contemporary luxury.
We also take our food and drink seriously. One of Melbourne’s elite chefs Paul Wilson and his team headed up by fellow Brit Dave Marshall ensure that. A carefully assembled wine, beer and cocktail list will impress. Coffee is also good. Let’s face it, in Melbourne it would want to be.
Architecture has been inherited and enhanced by Melbourne’s inventive practice, Six Degrees. Our art story in the bar and dining room is an enviable collection of sporting prints and memorabilia. The guest rooms boast a collection of Rennie Ellis photographs depicting life in Melbourne over five decades.
Middle Park Village sits nestled between Port Phillip Bay, the City, Albert Park Lake and St Kilda. Not a bad spot, we think you’d agree.
