Zagame's House

Zagame’s House is a 97-room boutique hotel in historic Carlton, Melbourne, combining accommodation, dining, wine and events under one roof. The hotel was created by brothers Victor and Robert Zagame, and its design-led approach extends from the interiors and art to its sustainable architecture. Guests can choose from several room styles, including Urban King, Superior King, Superior Twin, Deluxe Corner King and the Zagame’s Suite, with the emphasis on comfort, convenience and considered design.

Food and drink are central to the experience. Zagame Bros Coffee Co. is a street-side café focused on Melbourne’s breakfast culture, with an inventive seasonal menu developed by award-winning chef Chris Bonello and coffee made with the venue’s own blend. At Lord Lygon Wine Bar + Dining, the setting is moody and intimate, with a wine list that brings together Australian selections and old-world and new-world influences. The kitchen’s offering is shaped by fresh local ingredients, while the bar also presents spirits and seasonally influenced dishes. The venue’s wine selection includes more than 300 options, and guests can order a charcuterie pairing or share small bites while deciding what to try.

The hotel’s spaces are designed to work for different kinds of visits. Travellers can use the 24-hour room service menu, while the 24-hour gym offers an option for guests who want to keep active during their stay. The hotel also promotes its rooms as fur-friendly, making it relevant for guests travelling with pets. For visitors who are not staying overnight, Lord Lygon is intended for both locals and visitors, and Zagame’s House also offers facilities and services for conferences, events and weddings.

Art is another defining part of the setting, with work attributed to Rosie Woods, Ryan Foote, Lulu Zagame and Karl Gordon featured across the hotel. The gallery also highlights the interiors, local destinations and spaces including the hotel, café, Lord Lygon and event areas. With its Carlton neighbourhood location, accommodation, wine bar, café, gym and event offering, Zagame’s House suits visitors looking for a design-conscious Melbourne base, as well as locals seeking a meal, drinks or a distinctive venue for a gathering.
