The transformation of Melbourne's historic Pentridge Prison into the Adina Apartment Hotel Pentridge Melbourne exemplifies the harmonious blend of heritage preservation and contemporary design. Originally constructed in 1851, the prison's bluestone walls and austere architecture have been thoughtfully repurposed to house a modern hospitality experience. The hotel's interiors, designed by GroupGSA, draw inspiration from the site's storied past, juxtaposing the themes of confinement and freedom. This narrative is conveyed through contrasting light and dark elements, creating spaces that are both reflective and inviting. The incorporation of materials such as timber and stone pays homage to the original construction, while modern furnishings introduce comfort and luxury.
