SHADOW PLAY BY PEPPERS, Melbourne

Shadow Play By Peppers houses Edwin Wine Bar, the only venue worldwide offering exclusively Victorian wine selections. The hotel combines a cocktail bar with a hybrid tailoring shop, a concept not found at other Melbourne properties. A sophisticated enclosed garden on the top floor includes a freestanding fireplace, available for private events and dining.

The hotel offers modern one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments with separate living, dining areas, and full kitchens. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide city skyline views, especially visible from higher floors. Each apartment includes a washer/dryer, a safety deposit box, and a private bathroom with free toiletries.

Shadow Play By Peppers is 500 metres from Crown Casino and less than 1 km from Eureka Tower and Southbank Promenade. The National Gallery of Victoria and Southern Cross Station are within walking distance, as are the South Melbourne Markets. The hotel sits directly opposite a tram stop with easy access to the Melbourne Convention Centre and Albert Park for Formula 1 events.

The rooftop swimming pool is heated and open all year, offering city views from the 45th floor. Guests have access to a sauna and steam room, plus a fitness centre with state-of-the-art equipment. Sun loungers and pool towels are provided, though the pool area can be windy due to the corner location.

The hotel provides meeting and banquet facilities with expansive private dining rooms that have scenic views. Concierge services and a 24-hour front desk support business travelers, including assistance with external deliveries. Complimentary access to the Peppers Residential Rewards Program is offered to returning guests.
