Melbourne is a city that keeps coming into its own. It has a very active cultural scene, with innovations in live music, visual art, and theatre and performance, coming all the time. It’s no wonder, with the water and the outback always near, providing a constant call for inspiration, and the liveliness of the city taking care of the rest, it’s really a splendid place for artists to live and work. It’s also a splendid place for visitors, and when you’re traveling to Melbourne, luxury hotel accommodations are the way to go. We put you in the center of things, with a fantastic mix that includes the best of the old and the new. Hospitality is another one of the great forgotten art forms, and we’re determined to bring it back, to one guest at a time.
We’ve selected hotels based on their excellence in service and style, and you’ll love the sense of rejuvenation you’ll have. We think it’s necessary to feel that relaxed, because this city is worth seeing with fresh eyes. There is a cultural feast here, with new visual artists making new work that’s gorgeously classical, or pushing the forms in radical and fascinating new directions. The theatre is like that, too, and it’s possible to see great shows that are top quality productions, and also see interesting new forms being created. Somebody’s Daughter Theatre Company might be a bit of everything.
They started working three decades ago, at Fairlea Women’s Prison, with the intention of hearing the voices of women in prison, and others who have suffered from neglect, abuse and violence. It’s an enormously noble mission, which has at its core the intention to erase difference between people and communities through education and information, transmitted through a vibrant art form. They’ve been extremely successful, and do really fascinating work. The performances by Somebody’s Daughter are always tightly tied to place, with stories about human beings learning to understand themselves and each other.
