Hotel Sorrento has long been part of the Mornington Peninsula story. Perched above the bay in Sorrento, it’s a place many Melburnians know well, for long lunches, sunset drinks and weekends by the sea.
Now, after a five-year transformation led by the much-loved Pitt family, the hotel has entered a new chapter, unveiling a collection of beautifully considered new spaces that elevate the guest experience while staying true to its relaxed coastal soul.
For leisure travellers, the result is a more complete resort-style stay, places to slow down, connect, move, and savour the Peninsula lifestyle without ever feeling formal or overdone.
One of the most noticeable additions is the new Lobby Bar, now the hotel's natural heart. Designed as an intimate, low-lit space inspired by classic hotel bars in New York and London, it’s a place guests naturally gravitate to throughout the day. Start with a barista-made coffee, return for an afternoon aperitif, or settle in for a pre- or post-dinner cocktail paired with elevated bar snacks. Warm materials, comfortable seating and a relaxed rhythm make it ideal for quiet conversations or simply taking a moment between exploring Sorrento village and the coastline.
Wellness also takes on a new dimension with the introduction of an open-air terrace overlooking Port Phillip Bay. Designed to complement the hotel’s existing spa offering, the terrace blends movement, nature and fresh coastal air. Premium gym equipment and a dedicated yoga deck wrapped in greenery create a space that feels restorative rather than intense. Morning yoga or Pilates sessions invite a slower start to the day, while by evening the terrace becomes a refined setting for drinks, private events and sunset views across the water.
The final stage of Hotel Sorrento’s evolution includes eight new luxury suites, designed for longer, more indulgent stays. Generous proportions, refined finishes and thoughtful details create a sense of calm and comfort, making the accommodation itself part of the experience. It’s a setting well suited to couples, milestone celebrations or weekend escapes where lingering a little longer feels entirely natural.
Together, these new spaces complete Hotel Sorrento’s transformation into a fully realised boutique resort. Guests can easily move between dining, wellness, relaxation and accommodation, all while staying connected to the charm of Sorrento and the surrounding coastline. For those planning a coastal escape close to Melbourne, Hotel Sorrento now offers a refined yet familiar stay that captures the best of the Mornington Peninsula.
