Temperance Hotel, having undergone a multi-million dollar make-over in recent years, now presents itself as the most elite function-hosting venue Melbourne has to offer, showcasing both elegance and warmth to business based and private functions. Situated on iconic Chapel Street, Temperance’s modest exteriors make it easy to miss. However,once one foot follows the other and you find yourself set amongst mod interiors, there’s no doubt, whether it be intentional or accidental- you’re in the right place.
A black streamline staircase invites function guests to the private premise of Temperance, where staff meet and greet each and every guest with the offer of both a smile and a cocktail (identity required of course).
The tinny-tack exteriors of outside Chapel Street seem worlds away from the deep moroons, reds and golds of the exquisite lounge suite - private bar included.
Large mosaic pillars fill the centre of the space, making the area more about mingling than dancing. Long, corporate tables are offered at any time should you need the space to talk tactics, not martinis.
Victorian-inspired windows from yesteryear remain in place, one of the few things Temperance left unchanged during the make-over. With boutique-style arm chairs strategically placed at each and every window, a view of the streets below convince both yourself and your guests that you are, indeed, worlds above the rest.
Canapes make the rounds often enough that you and your guests are left satisfied without having to stop off for dinner on-route home. Both vegetarian, and carnivorous options delicately line large plates, circulating the room at perfect pace. Crumbed haloumi, seasoned lamb shanks and potato rice balls are just some of the gourmet delights set to satisfy your appetite.
The nearby private function bathroom means trips to and from need not disrupt the presentation being made on the roll down projection screen. Just a few steps behind the bar and sparkling amenities assure a quick and comfortable bathroom experience.
Whether you’re looking for a function room to host a personal party, lend itself to a work function, or even launch your own business successes, Temperance Hotel’s newly refurbished upper quarters provide the perfect environment of both warmth and exclusivity to impress both yourself and your guests the entire evening through.
