Lanson Place Parliament Gardens: A Grand Opening Honoring Heritage and Community

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Lanson Place Parliament Gardens marked its highly anticipated grand opening on 26 November, unveiling a stunning $80 million transformation of the historic 1901 Salvation Army Printing Works. This landmark event is not just about luxurious hospitality; it embodies a commitment to community, launching a donation initiative that pays tribute to its rich heritage and supports The Salvation Army’s essential work across Australia.

A Tribute to Legacy

The grand opening event featured a symbolic gesture by The Salvation Army, handing over the original building plaque to Lanson Place, signifying the passing of stewardship for this historic property. Further commemorating its legacy, the hotel introduced the “Rounding Up for the Salvos” campaign, inviting guests to round up their bills during their stay. These additional contributions will directly benefit The Salvation Army’s impactful community programs.

“This initiative is more than a donation drive,” shared Marcus Packham, General Manager of Lanson Place Parliament Gardens. “It is a meaningful way to connect our guests with the community, ensuring the legacy of our building continues to support those in need.”

An Urban Retreat in the Heart of Melbourne

Lanson Place Parliament Gardens offers a haven of elegance and comfort, blending Melbourne’s vibrant culture with contemporary luxury. The hotel boasts 137 well-appointed rooms, including studios, expansive apartments, and two penthouses offering panoramic city views. Guests can indulge in premium amenities, such as a 20-meter indoor heated pool, a spa, a 24-hour fitness center, and the signature Chronicle 502 Bar & Dining.

The hotel’s artistic interior design, inspired by its storied past, includes over 450 commissioned works by local artists. A centerpiece is the 40-meter ceiling installation by Jarra Karalinar Steel and Corey Thomas, mirroring the native Melaleuca paperbark tree with layers peeling like a manuscript, a poetic nod to the site’s printing heritage.

Giving Back Through Hospitality

The “Rounding Up for the Salvos” initiative highlights Lanson Place’s dedication to giving back, aligning with the festive season’s spirit of generosity. This campaign ensures guests contribute to a greater cause while enjoying the property’s luxury offerings.
