INSPO

A breathtaking urban oasis
HOTEL NO is the brainchild of James Fry.

WHAT IS HOTEL NO?

A night at HOTEL NO is one of exploration.

It’s about doing things differently.

Doing things you wouldn’t usually do.

Getting out of your comfort zone.

Checking out hidden laneways.

Avoiding the tourist traps.

Seeing the real Melbourne.

Living like a local.

HOTEL NO is NOT a hotel, but an experience.

BUT HOW?

All Airstreams were found in the USA completely gutted, sent on a boat across the Pacific to Geelong. Driven up the highway to Flinders Lane and lifted onto the roof top of the car park using a 50 tone crane.

WILL I LOVE IT?

HOTEL NO is very Melbourne, if you like a sense of adventure and discovery, you are going to love it here!…

…but if you are after a traditional hotel or you want everything handed to you, then you’d best stay elsewhere.

This is NOT a hotel. If you are a guest, you are going to have to work out how exactly to get in.

HOW DO I FIND IT?

We will give you a clue – it’s a single door that’s hidden near a coffee shop. There is no concierge and guests are emailed or texted a code for their smart phone that they can swipe to get in!

WHY HOTEL NO?

Through years of travel, James felt many hotels kept guests too used to their own habitat, with rooms and food options boringly indistinguishable and tour guide offerings unsurprising. 

He sought to create an accommodation experience that encouraged guests to discover the city as a local, where guests are really encouraged to chose their own adventure. 

A night at HOTEL NO is about exploration; getting out to discover Melbourne’s winding laneways, top-class restaurants, the city’s hidden gems and still returning to a unique urban oasis and the comfiest night sleep.
