LA MADONNA

Be greeted on arrival by a sweeping Italian marble staircase paired with a lavish gold chandelier made from hundreds of gold chains; a ceramics installation suspended from the ceiling; a four-metre-high glass cabinet filled with cheese and charcuterie; and an Australian hotel-first, a private room with a wall of barrels filled with aging cocktails, spirits and herbal liquors.

Enjoy a curated menu that combines classic French technique with Italian soul. Executive Chef Jacopo Degli Esposti brings a refined approach to traditional Italian dishes, celebrating simplicity, seasonality and precision. From scampi-stuffed cappelletti in crustacean consommé to Loddon Estate duck dry-aged in-house, every dish is designed to hero the produce while weaving in the creative elegance of French cuisine.

Unwind after a busy day at La Madonna Bar, where comfortable couches and dimly lit corners set the perfect ambiance for sipping cocktails and savouring snacks. Sink into a seat surrounded by wooden barrels and glass bottles ageing various cocktails, tinctures and spirits.
