Overview
After a whole lotta lockdown, it's safe to say we're all searching for a little bit of escapism these days. And that's something you'll find plenty of right now, in one particular room at the DoubleTree by Hilton Melbourne.
The hotel has loaded up on cosy additions and transformed one of its finest rooms into a Christmas winter wonderland, available for guests to book from now until the end of December.
The King Flinders Street Station View Room is now a vision of furry soft furnishings and twinkling lights designed to transport you to winter somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere. DoubleTree's team has gone hard on the White Christmas theme — with some help from Aussie sheepskin accessory retailer Ugg Express — decking out the space with furry rugs, cosy slippers and a faux Christmas tree covered in sparkling lights.
Guests can dig even deeper into the holiday spirit with local Mork hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows to greet them on arrival to their winter escape — a fitting match to the signature cookies DoubleTree serves warm to all its guests.
You can even enjoy a festive winter-themed feed while you're snuggled in there, thanks to a special-edition room service menu. The full three-course affair comes in at $70, featuring plates like barramundi and red pepper croquettes, the Dolce & Gabbana spaghettini done with sugo and pecorino, and a cherry and kirsch tart with Valrhona chocolate.
The accommodation package includes a one-night stay in the White Christmas oasis, featuring arrival gifts, a special Ugg Express present and breakfast for two, with prices starting from $309.
