Kitchen & Bathroom Issue

Kitchens and bathrooms are, arguably, the most consequential rooms in the home — and almost always the first to be considered. Whether approached through renovation or new build, their design has the power to recalibrate how a home is lived in and experienced. For this issue, our guest editor, Mardi Doherty, principal of Studio Doherty, explores what it truly means to transform these pivotal spaces — and why thoughtful design in kitchens and bathrooms delivers dividends far beyond the purely functional. Her insights both as an architect and as her own client give an open and honest account of the thinking behind creating a home.

The Prince Hotel St Kilda

Australia

A beachside retreat with a difference; The Prince is just a short tram ride to Australia’s design and fashion capital, Melbourne.


We cover a lot of getaways on habitusliving.com that are remote; on beaches, in the mountains or secluded bushland, but many of us travel for the vibrancy of the cities. So we thought we’d talk about one of our favourite hotels in one of our favourite cities – The Prince in Melbourne.

 

The Art Deco façade of this St Kilda hotel belies a “moody and sophisticated” modern interior, with all the comforts and relaxing facilities you’d expect from a beachside escape.

 

 

The hotel has its own spa and an amazing rooftop, complete with big daybeds. Its own on-site restaurant – Circa – which we covered a little while ago, is one of the hottest restaurants Melbourne has to offer, headed up by Chef, Jake Nicolson.

 

 

 

 

The rooms are spacious and offer a mix of raw-industrial and natural materials, for an urban escape. Of course, the wonderful St Kilda cafes, promenade and shopping are right on your doorstep, so you may not spend much time in your room!

 

 

We can definitely recommend checking this one out when you’re next in Melbourne.

Mr & Mrs Smith tell us that their members also get a free bottle of bubbles and free parking when staying at the hotel.
