A $20m luxury hotel will open on the grounds of a popular Yarra Valley winery next year complete with helipads to chopper in tourists.

The Levantine Hill Hotel at the Levantine Hill Estate will have 33 suites over two levels, with each suite having its own living area, study and private balcony overlooking the vineyards.

Eight of the suites will have large circular baths, and the Optume Suite will also have a dressing room, fireplace, cellar and bar.

Also on the hotel grounds will be multiple onsite helipads, an indoor gym and a walking sculpture track that features more than 30 garden art pieces.

The space was designed by Australian architect firm Fender Kastalidis (FK).

“The raw, natural elements and finishes will weather naturally and patina elegantly with age in harmony with the environment,” said designer Karl Fender.

“This will bring simple elements together in a seamless and organic way.”
