About this place The Cullen Art Series Hotel

The Cullen Art Series Hotel is a gay-friendly accommodation option located in Prahran, one of Melbourne's most vibrant LGBTQ+ neighbourhoods. Situated on Commercial Road, the hotel puts you within easy reach of the area's well-established gay scene, including bars, cafes, and community spaces that have made this precinct a welcoming hub for LGBTQ+ travellers and locals alike. As part of the Art Series Hotels collection, this property celebrates local artistic culture, with design and decor inspired by the work of acclaimed Australian artist Adam Cullen. This creative approach sets it apart from standard chain hotels, offering guests a distinctive sense of place and character. Whether you're visiting Melbourne for pride events, a weekend getaway, or business, the hotel provides a comfortable base in a neighbourhood known for its inclusive atmosphere. Prahran itself is known for its diverse community, independent shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues. Staying here means you'll have convenient access to the broader cultural and social offerings of the area, not just the gay scene. The location on Commercial Road is particularly practical for those wanting to explore on foot or via Melbourne's excellent public transport network. For LGBTQ+ travellers seeking accommodation that's both welcoming and connected to community spaces, this hotel offers a solid choice in one of Australia's most gay-friendly cities.

Had a great weekend at the new Elli Prahran. They are currently in the middle of a refurbishment and I really appreciated the hotel advising me immediately after booking about the current works. The staff were so welcoming and helpful that the construction didn't detract from the trip at all. You really can't beat this location, either. The new rooms look fantastic and I'm looking forward to my next booking in one of the newly renovated rooms.

The property is in an amazing location for food, shopping and transport. The train is a five-minute walk away and the tram stops right outside. I was able to enjoy both breakfast and dinner within walking distance (check out Dons). The hotel is the old Cullen and is currently being refitted. The rooms are large, big enough to work, and have a kitchenette, lounge and a spacious bathroom. They've also fixed the privacy issue between the bedroom and bathroom by installing a curtain, which makes a huge difference. A communal workspace is being added too, and I think the place will develop a real community feel as word gets out. I'd totally recommend it for both short and long-term stays.

A perfect location and very comfortable studio. An easy tram ride from the city and perfectly located for great restaurants and the produce at the Prahran markets is delicious.
