The Best Hotel in Mornington Peninsula, Victoria

The Continental Hotel has been a staple on Sorrento's main street since 1875—it now has a dash of international panache as part of the InterContinental Sorrento Mornington Peninsula. The vibe is Amalfi glamour, with penthouse suites and rooms with bay views, heritage suites and a rooftop, guests-only pool. The precinct—for that is what it has become—includes the fine-dining seafood restaurant Audrey's by celebrity chef Scott Pickett, the more casual European bistro called The Atrium, and, its original beating heart, the good-time Conti bar. It is also home to destination spa Aurora Spa and Bathhouse, with its magnesium float room and Finnish sauna.
