Vegan Latin Dining
Lona Misa, the hotel's restaurant, serves a heavily vegan menu with vegetarian options, curated by chefs Shannon Martinez and Ian Curley. The menu includes Latin-inspired dishes, seasonal cocktails, and house-made cold-pressed juices. The all-day venue transitions from café to wine bar, with private dining spaces available for events.
Botanical Cocktail Bar
The Backroom bar offers a zero-proof drinks list featuring Australian brands like Feels Botanical and Regal Rogue.

Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offered small but well-equipped rooms at a great price initially, which was a really good deal. The rooms were a bit overheated, but that was manageable.
The hotel has a convenient location near the corner of Toorak Rd and Chapel St, making it excellent for exploring the local area with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. The rooms are comfortable, but noise from the restaurant below, especially the music, can be noticeable. The service is suited well for its market, offering helpful assistance despite some hectic and rude interactions. The dining experience is highlighted by a fabulous waiter but could be improved. Overall, a good value for money choice with some minor issues to consider.
The hotel's location is excellent, especially for those traveling by train or tram, with plenty of local bars and restaurants nearby. The service provided by the staff was exceptional, and they were very welcoming and accommodating. The rooms, though a bit small with dark decor, offered a comfortable stay. The dining experience was very good at the vegetarian restaurant. The value for money was great, considering the additional services like room service, laundry, and a free mini bar.
