Hotel Bellinzona is a discreet 4-star boutique hotel located in the town of Daylesford, Victoria, roughly a two-hour drive away from Melbourne. It is a great accommodation for exploring the Hepburn Springs region, which boasts ample revitizing spas, antique stores and art galleries. The hotel is situated inside a heritage federation-style building from the early 20th century.
The Design
Hotel Bellinzona underwent a major transformation in 2021 after the recent change in ownership. The building’s wooden facade has been painted black completely, which showcases a refreshing and stylish aesthetic. On the inside, you will find a cozy white, black, and dark brown palette, highly reminiscent of a modern cabin. The communal areas are being further complemented by retro-style furniture and abstract artwork.
The Rooms
Hotel Bellinzona presents 43 well-appointed guest rooms and suites, ranging from studios to two-bedroom lofts. They are designed cleanly with a monochromatic black-and-white theme alongside touches of wooden decor. Inside the room, you will find sophisticated furnishing, plush king bedding, a smart TV, and free wifi. Accessible rooms are also available upon inquiry.
Things To Do
The pool is a major highlight of Hotel Bellinzona. The 12-meter heated indoor pool is perfect for relaxing or energising swims. You will also have access to a rejuvenating heated spa and sauna. Besides, there are over 30 spas and wellness centers around the region, including the infamous Hepburn Springs Bathhouse. If you are looking for something more adventurous, we recommend exploring the scenic Wombat State Forest nearby.
Dining
Dining is also a big part of the experience at Hotel Bellinzona. During the day, The Virgin Kitchen is a casual cafe with some of the best coffee in town. At night, it transforms into a modern restaurant with a refined menu curated from fresh Victorian produce. For drinks, The Lobby Bar is a relaxing lounge with an expansive selection of wine and cocktail. If you are travelling in groups or looking to celebrate special occasions, two private dining rooms led by hatted chefs are also available upon inquiry.
