Art Series Hotels is the destination of choice for a business trip or leisurely stay.

[The Olsen], premiering in a prestigious Chapel Street address, is the flagship of the series and houses 229 boutique hotel rooms and residences like nothing Melbourne has seen before. Sophisticated yet modern, The Olsen intimately blends the works of Australia's greatest living painter Dr. John Olsen.
