The Interlude Hotel at Pentridge

The 8 Most Unique Hotels Around the World - AFAR

"Housed within the heavy stone walls of a former 19th-century prison, this upscale wellness retreat reimagines former cell blocks as 19 suites focused on sensory and mind-opening experiences. Dining highlights include farm-to-table fare with adventurous items like crocodile tempura paired with Yarra Valley pinot, while curated itineraries offer neighborhood tasting tours, charcoal drawing, mindful-movement classes, helicopter flights, semi-guided bathing rituals in an underground pool, and sunset campfires in a Reflection Garden where artisans and storytellers share local lore." - Nora Zelevansky
