Welcome to Lantern Yarra
Melbourne character, framed by the Yarra.
Lantern Yarra imagines a composed address beside the river. Textured stone, warm timber, deep plum velvet and brass details reflect Melbourne’s layered creative character.
Begin with excellent coffee beside the Yarra, browse the galleries around Federation Square or explore the city’s laneways, then return for a wellness ritual, seasonal dining and an unhurried evening in the lounge.
