In 2013, ab88kai, Melbourne began an enduring partnership with world-renowned illustrator, Kerrie Hess. 

The Brisbane-based artist established a home away from home in our hotel — now a growing exhibition of her distinctive and fashionable art.

As one of the largest in the Southern Hemisphere, ab88kai, Melbourne’s breathtaking chandelier must be seen to be believed. 

This gorgeous centrepiece is custom-made with Waterford crystal — known to be some of the best crystals in the world.

ab88kai, Melbourne is the unofficial home of Afternoon Tea in Melbourne. 

It's so popular that Aria Bar & Lounge offers it seven days a week!

Don’t miss this signature dining experience with ab88kai’s famous scones, delicious savouries, and specialty tea from British tea brand, JING.​​

The chandeliers in the Yarra Rooms have a quirky secret. Look closely — they’re an artist’s impression of the iconic Flinder Street Station, just upside down!

The round domes of the chandeliers are inspired by the station's distinct Victorian domes, which can be seen from the Yarra Rooms.
