Overview
Yarra Valley wine country is set to score a bold new addition in June 2025, when Levantine Hill Estate opens its ambitious onsite hotel designed by acclaimed architecture firm — and Mona designers — FK (formerly Fender Katsalidis).
Once completed, the award-winning winery's boutique accommodation Levantine Hill Hotel will be home to 33 luxury suites overlooking the rolling vineyards
Conceptualised to blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape, the new hotel will be set across two levels, decked out in natural materials and raw finishes to complement the property's existing spaces. That includes the cellar door, fine-dining restaurant and winemaking facilities, which are also the work of FK founder Karl Fender.
Suites are set to feature their own living rooms, studies and private balconies, plus eight of them will feature expansive circular baths. Expect lots of polished concrete, rich leather and untreated silvertop ash used throughout.
Catering to the wedding crowd, there'll also be a sumptuous bridal suite — named the Optume Suite — complete with its own cellar, bar, open fireplace and dressing room. And if you fancy arriving in style, the hotel will be located just a quick stroll from the estate's helicopter landing area.
Guests will also have access to the indoor gym, an outdoor exercise area and a 1.5km walking sculpture track, which winds through the sculpture-filled gardens brimming with over 30 pieces of internationally created sculptures. Complimentary continental breakfast and a fully-stocked mini-bar are also included in every Levantine Hill Hotel stay.
But this luxe accommodation isn't the only grand thing in the works for Levantine Hill, with plans for an additional 47-room hotel still in the works. That project will also be brought to life by architects FK, and we will be sure to share further details once they roll in.
Levantine Hill Estate's new hotel is set to open in June 2025, at 882 Maroondah Highway, Coldstream. For more information, you can check out the winery's website.
