The Esplanade Hotel in Inverloch, Victoria, has been extensively transformed, with the first stage now open to the public and the second nearing completion. Stage one reimagines the early-2000s sports bar with an inspired layout by Studio Heck, now featuring defined bar and dining zones, new bathrooms, and thoughtfully landscaped outdoor spaces.

Intricately detailed custom room dividers, bespoke furnishings, refined joinery, and a hand-crafted horseshoe bar create a sense of character, while intuitive traffic flow and subtly distinguished circulation areas guide guests to intimate dining enclaves complete with a fireplace and banquette seating.
The venue achieves a rare versatility, offering an inclusive, welcoming environment where all can gather. Artisanal craftsmanship—much of it by local tradespeople—fills the space with exceptional quality and character.
Stage two will see the debut of a new dining room, further enhancing this destination central to the town.
