Function Venue

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.

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.

Stayed there for 4D/3N the hotel is located at one of the most happening areas. Everything is nearby, the check-in experience was smooth. Staff was very professional and friendly. Rooms were big and in pristine condition. The bathroom though needed a little bit more privacy by adding sliding curtains, etc. Overall a great experience will definitely recommend others as well.

While the hotel was inviting, interesting decor and bed was fine, it was clear the designers were more interested in the look of things than their actual function. For instance, the bedside tables had lamps on them that took up the whole table top, leaving no room for a cup/book/phone etc. the bathroom walls and door were transparent, offering zero privacy (not great in a twin room! Thank God i wasn’t travelling with a work colleague!!) Stove top would have been handy, but no room to prep (and you’d probably set fire to the other appliances). TVs were set up to watch from bed, but couldn’t be viewed from the couch… The list goes on. It was an experience, but not really practical. Don’t lose sight of why people actually stay in a hotel!

From the warm welcome by the front of house staff to the incredible design of the rooms, the Cullen met and exceeded our expectations. We had a lovely spacious room, with every amenity we could have wished for. The beds were incredibly comfortable and we would easily recommend the Cullen to others.
