Hot hotel openings across the country
Street artist Matt Adnate has been honoured with being the namesake of the latest Art Series hotel, this one in the heart of Perth and opening in October. The Melbourne artist has executed two giant murals at the property, a 27-storey ‘mega mural’ and a 50-metre-long ‘laneway mural’, which will complement two original works and 650 reproductions scattered throughout the 250-room property. artserieshotels.com.au
GLAMPING AT KINGS CANYON RESORT
Kings Canyon Resort has added six luxury canvas glamping tents to its accommodation roster. Located in the heart of the Red Centre, at the edge of the mighty Kings Canyon, the tents are spacious in size and decorated with chic quality furnishings in woods and metals, with tactile fabrics used throughout (including two goat-fur cushions on the bed that you can’t help but stroke) to add warmth and cosiness. Each tent comes with a deck, perfect for sitting on to watch day turn to inky black night, en suite bathroom with shower, and generous living space. kingscanyonresort.com.au
VOCO KIRKTON PARK HUNTER VALLEY
One of the Hunter Valley’s best-loved accommodation options has been reborn as voco Kirkton Park Hunter Valley, a 70-room luxury escape. With interior designer Greg Natale overseeing the look and feel of the property, the interiors are finished to the highest standard with bursts of signature yellow throughout, as well as diverting art and fabrics. There’s a paddock-to-plate focus in its Locavore Dining and Epoch Lounge Bar, including using honey from the onsite beehives, and sustainable touches like duvets produced from recyclable plastic. ihgplc.com
