Jackalope Hotel

Rialto Score 9+

A Leading Hotels Of The World hotel. Rialto is a Virtuoso agency: book this hotel direct at the VIP rate for benefits that can include priority room upgrades, hotel credits, and more.

Unapologetically modern, Jackalope Hotel is as surreal as its namesake mythical creature. This boldly offbeat hotel invites guests to escape from reality – easily accomplished while soaking in the 100-foot, jet-black infinity pool overlooking 28 acres of rolling vines. A curated collection of modern artworks dots the estate and muted walls of 44 “designer dens,” while the original 1876 homestead has been resurrected as the clubby Flaggerdoot bar. Farm-to-fork Doot Doot Doot restaurant shines a 10,000-bulb chandelier on artisan producers from around the Mornington Peninsula.
