The Olsen Melbourne - Art Series

Hotel · South Yarra

@afar

"The Olsen Considered one of Australia ’s best living painters, John Olsen is famous for his squiggly-lined watercolor and oil takes on the antipodean landscape. Fitting, then, that the second property in the Art Series Hotel Group immerses guests in his playful worldview through museum-quality prints, an in-suite visual library, and tours of the hotel’s works. The 224 elegant accommodations are studies in restraint, with designer furnishings, floor-to-ceiling glass doors, and soft white-and-silver color schemes that keep the focus on the intricate paintings; kitchenettes with stoves and crockery give suites the feel of modern artist lofts. Should you wish to explore the South Yarra shopping precinct that surrounds The Olsen as the locals do, a smart car, Kronan scooter, Lekker bicycles, and an artsy pram are available for rent. After a day of retail therapy, head back to the hotel for seasonal small bites (gnocchi with field mushrooms; chargrilled calamari with tomato-chickpea stew)."
