Location

Hotel Ernest Bendigo occupies a prime location in Bendigo's CBD, adjacent to the renowned Bendigo Art Gallery and vibrant Rosalind Park. The hotel is housed in the city's oldest bank building, constructed in 1864, which adds a historical dimension to its appeal. Exclusive access to complimentary off-street parking is available at the rear of the building for guests.

Rooms

The hotel offers 10 exquisite suites that combine historical architecture with contemporary decor, showcasing original features like high ceilings and gracious light-filled windows. Each suite is adorned with significant artworks, providing a unique artistic experience for guests. Select suites, such as the Patrick Henigan Suite and Richard Birmingham Suite, showcase talents from notable Australian artists.

Dining

On-site dining at Restaurant Terrae delivers a menu crafted from hyper-local produce, emphasizing seasonal flavors rooted in classic European cooking. This dual-level venue spans an underground bar and dining space, catering to both guests and locals throughout the day. Daily house-made pasta and thoughtful classics are part of the culinary offerings crafted by the hotel's Executive Chef.

Art Integration

Hotel Ernest intentionally integrates art into its experience, showcasing the works of both historic and contemporary artists within each suite and throughout the hotel. Vera, one of the hotel's art-centric concepts, immerses guests in the unique cultural history of the Victorian goldfields. Such emphasis on creativity not only enhances the guest experience but also honors the region's artistic legacy.

Heritage Experience

The hotel's setting within a historic bank building links guests to the gold rush era, as evidenced by original elements like the underground cellar and bank vault. Engaging stories from the structure's past, including a bullet hole from its storied history, create intrigue among visitors. This connection to Bendigo's heritage merges with modern comforts to foster a distinct atmosphere.
