Hotel Ernest Bendigo

Guests love Hotel Ernest Bendigo for its prime View Street location opposite Rosalind Park and moments from Bendigo Art Gallery, cafes and restaurants. The heritage bank building is a standout, with soaring ceilings, original vaults and an intimate subterranean bar, plus a charming courtyard that feels European. Suites are individually styled with Australian art and designer touches, many offering balconies and park views, spa baths, kitchenettes, and thoughtful amenities like heated towel rails, Nespresso machines, plentiful crockery and cosy lighting. Reviewers frequently praise the super comfortable king beds and pillows, double glazing for quiet nights, secure off?street parking and the pet suite, with easy ground?floor access for those with mobility needs.

Service is a consistent highlight, with several reviewers mentioning Ella, Martin and David for their warm welcomes, local dining tips and engaging history tours of the vaults. Terrae, the on?site restaurant, earns praise for excellent lunches and dinners, while the cellar lounge is a favourite spot for a pre?dinner drink. Guests also appreciate the organic bathroom products, stylish furnishings, peaceful atmosphere and the ease of walking everywhere from this beautifully restored boutique hotel.
