Sorrento Mornington Peninsula
Heritage coastal luxury with Mediterranean influences. Art deco bones in the original wing, clean contemporary finishes in the newer rooms. Green-and-white palette, limestone, trailing plants, vaulted glass. Resort feel without the fuss.
Book a Premium Room or Heritage Suite if bay views matter — some standard rooms face the hotel's rear loading area
Why It Matters
The Heritage Wing is housed in Sorrento's original Continental Hotel (1875 limestone structure), one of Victoria's most storied seaside buildings. Aurora Spa & Bathhouse won Best Spa in Australasia and Best Urban Bathhouse (2025) and operates as a destination in its own right. The hotel is also the only InterContinental property on the Mornington Peninsula.
A 5-star luxury hotel built around the bones of Sorrento's original Continental Hotel — a sun-bleached limestone structure dating to 1875. The Heritage Wing preserves the original architecture; the Main Wing and Riley Lane bring contemporary polish. About 90 minutes south of Melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula, with Port Phillip Bay on one side and the Bass Strait on the other, and good wine country all around. The pool deck, the award-winning Aurora Spa & Bathhouse, and a serious dining precinct mean you don't actually need to leave the property.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Classic Room
The step-up from Cosy. At 29–34 sqm in the contemporary Riley Lane wing, Classic Rooms feel properly spacious and come with a king bed. Good for a comfortable night with all standard inclusions.
1 King Bed · 31 sqm
Cosy Room
The entry-level room and deliberately compact. At 19–21 sqm with a king or queen bed, these are designed for guests using the hotel as a base to explore Sorrento. Modern fittings, ASPAR amenities, pod coffee machine. Don't expect a view or room to spread out.
1 King Bed or 1 Queen Bed · 20 sqmHeritage Suite
The standout option for anyone who cares about where they're sleeping. These suites sit in the original 1875 limestone Heritage Wing — high ceilings, Art Deco details, bay views. Sizes run 50–70 sqm and configurations include king-only or a king plus two singles for families. The character here is real, not manufactured.
1 King Bed or 1 King Bed and 2 Single Beds · 60 sqmOne Bedroom Suite
A dedicated living area plus king bedroom at 37 sqm total. Private terrace included. Good choice for guests wanting a lounge space to decompress without moving to a two-bedroom layout.
1 King Bed · 37 sqmPenthouse
The biggest and most theatrical option at 149 sqm, with a private rooftop terrace that has sun lounges and sweeping bay views. One king bedroom, full separate dining and lounge space. The rooftop terrace is the real draw — genuinely sky-high on the Sorrento skyline.
1 King Bed · 149 sqmPremium Room
At 31–37 sqm these rooms include terrace options and some bay views — but not all. A minority of units face the hotel's service area, so it's worth requesting a bay or foreshore outlook when booking. King bed or twin singles available.
1 King Bed or 2 Single Beds · 34 sqmTwo Bedroom Suite
At 69 sqm with a king in the master and two singles in the second room, this is the family or group option. Private terrace with lounge space included. Deep soak tub in the main bathroom.
