About this place The Cullen Art Series Hotel

The Cullen is part of the Art Series group of hotels, and its rooms and public spaces are hung with work by the Australian painter Adam Cullen. It sits on Commercial Road in Prahran, near Chapel Street and the Prahran Market. It's a mainstream hotel, listed as gay-friendly, with no specific LGBTQ+ focus. Commercial Road was for decades the centre of Melbourne's gay south side. A few venues remain nearby, but much of the city's gay nightlife has since moved north to Collingwood and Fitzroy. Prahran station is a few minutes' walk away, and from there trains run into the CBD.

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.
