Now Open: Hotel Sorrento Is Back Following Major Refurbs and Boasts a New Day Spa, 30-Metre Pool and Luxe Suites

Summer at the Mornington Peninsula just got a lot hotter (in a good way). Hotel Sorrento, a mainstay since 1872, reopened in December 2023 — revealing a luxurious transformation that's all about premium leisure and maximum relaxation.

The renovation was announced early in 2022, and the team is ready to show off the new and improved Mornington fave. Let's start with the new digs.

Thirteen new Sunset Suites have been constructed, starting from $550 per night. These suites feature expansive windows with lush views, outdoor marble baths, rooms filled with bespoke Jardan furniture and amenities from Hunter Lab. And they look gorgeous.

The love isn't confined to the new suites — the existing rooms have also received a facelift.

Meanwhile, the new Marlo Spa, hidden away in a private part of the hotel by a peaceful Japanese-inspired garden, is ready to pamper guests with massages, fire and ice therapies and more.

And here's where it gets exciting: a 30-metre lap pool set in a travertine-walled terrace, surrounded by greenery and olive trees has been installed. Like swimming in the Mediterranean without the hassle of a 16-hour flight.

Add a nice cocktail while relaxing on the new poolside ​​custom-made sun lounges and you've got a recipe for the perfect sunset relaxation session.

Bookings are now open at Hotel Sorrento, found at 5/15 Hotham Road, Sorrento.
