The Cullen is a striking contemporary boutique hotel inspired by the equally contemporary and striking artwork of Australian artist Adam Cullen.Aside from the obvious fact that the Cullen boasts a variety of high quality suites within its modern walls, the hotel is also home to a number of impressive and stylish function venues - to suit a variety of events.Siting resplendently atop the Cullen is the venue’s impressive rooftop space, great for receptions and meetings. For larger events, the rooftop is able to be combined with the adjoining Lady Luck penthouse. Also available is the Growler penthouse, with its oversized outdoor terrace with barbeque.The Cullen is located on Commercial Road in Prahran, just up from the always-buzzing intersection of Chapel Street. The Cullen is surrounded on all sides by tram options, with Prahran train station a short stroll away. It’s also a superb address for drinking and dining options - not that you’d want to leave the surrounds of the Cullen, of course.

Stylish Stay in Prahran, But Room for Improvement on Loyalty Perks We recently stayed at The Cullen in Prahran, and it’s definitely a unique experience. The hotel is filled with bold, vibrant works by the late Australian artist Adam Cullen, which gives the space a quirky, artistic edge and sets it apart from typical hotel decor. Our room was spacious and immaculately clean, with everything you’d expect from a boutique Art Series hotel. While there’s no on-site restaurant or bar, its prime location in Prahran more than makes up for it—you're surrounded by a fantastic range of cafes, restaurants, and bars, and just steps away from Chapel Street and Prahran Market. Valet parking is available at $35 per night, which is reasonable for the area. However, we were surprised that loyal Platinum members don’t receive any concessions or discounts on parking, whereas new members get 50% off. It felt like a missed opportunity to reward loyal returning guests. Overall, a stylish and comfortable stay in an unbeatable location, but the loyalty program could use a refresh to better recognize returning customers.A special shout-out to Manager Petrick, who was professional, helpful, and made our stay special. We’ll definitely be back!

Perfect location with easy, secure parking on site. The reception staff were lovely and helpful upon arrival and made sure we had a quiet room as requested and made me aware of a couple of bonuses they offered (late checkout etc.) The room was nicely laid out with all the things one would expect in a good hotel: lighting options (table lamps), good toiletries and a great shower with water pressure! A window that can be opened!(so rare) good window treatment so the room can be made really dark, neat kitchenette setup, lots of clothes hanging space. SUPER comfortable bed. All round great experience and we will definitely be returning.

Fuss free stay. Neat room. Being rated a 5 star hotel, I expected in house breakfast and dining to be available but there was none. I would have opted for another property if I had known. I also expect some extra effort or welcome for ALL Gold members/loyal patrons.

A huge thank you to the staff for fixing the issue of one bed for parents and their 17 year old daughter and moving us into a two bed room with no fuss. For accommodating my disability parking on our third and final night. The staff are wonderful. Location is great, would like a little more privacy in the bathroom but we got by. Vibrant area and would absolutely stay again if returning to the area. Thank you for all your help and consideration.
