Village Belle Hotel
202 Barkly Street, St Kilda VIC 3182, Australia
The Village Belle Hotel is a St Kilda icon. So deeply embedded in the local consciousness, the area surrounding the hotel became known as "the Village Belle Precinct," even officially recognised by the local council. The Village Belle Hotel has something to offer everyone. From the best-valued meals in town to great live music in the Doulton Bar. Spend a sunny afternoon in the beer garden, or have a cold beer sitting in the Sports Bar. Big sporting event on? Watch it on one of the many plasma screens, or have a flutter in the TAB. Function rooms are also a specialty at The Village Belle Hotel, with a classy, 1920s style room featuring leather club chairs, exquisite antique furniture, an open fireplace and a balcony that overlooks Acland Street. The function room is free to hire, has a funky outside courtyard attached, and it’s the place where you want to hold your next event. Open exclusively for functions, this private area is comfortable for intimate parties with 50 guests as well as offering the versatility of a large open area for larger parties. The best bit is there is no minimum spend or room hire fee. Following a significant redevelopment, including the restoration of the heritage-listed hotel, the Village Belle Hotel is now a sleek, contemporary double-storey hotel with a range of function rooms perfect for any occasion.
