The Botanical - South Yarra

One of Melbourne's most revered hotels, the Botanical, reopened its doors in November 2010 after a significant renovation and has emerged as one of Melbourne's most exciting dining and drinking destinations.

Superbly located adjacent to the famous Botanic Gardens, the Botanical underwent a $4 million renovation by leading Melbourne design firm Webb +, transforming it into a multi-faceted venue complete with formal restaurant, informal wine store and café, a bar and lounge for more serious drinkers and the alfresco-inspired 'Archer Room’ for casual dining and private events.

"With the Botanical, we have created an all inclusive venue combining a variety of quite separate but interlinked spaces, catering for every occasion," says General Manager, Peter Baker.
