Family-owned Lona Group – the folks behind Barca Food & Wine, Lona hospitality venues and Sedgley & Sons Winery – have brought their latest hospitality venue to the Peninsula.

Housed in one of Frankston’s oldest buildings, original features of the facade and interior were brought back to life during the building’s transformation into a 400-capacity, two-level venue with restaurant, public bar and rooftop, and live music seven days a week.

A standout design element is the beautifully restored brickwork, now adorned with funky neon art, and complemented by the eye-catching staircase lit in neon pink. Head up and find the sun-drenched rooftop, where a full dining menu is also available, or you can spend lazy afternoons listening to live music and enjoying their famous Lona Drunch packages (bottomless drinks & lunch). In addition, a private dining room is available to hire for all types of functions. As the sun sinks below the horizon, watch the space transform into a late-night entertainment hub with DJs and dancing.

Known for their vibrant atmosphere year-round, Hotel Lona is a fail-safe option for a good time.
