Melbourne, Australia – May 2024: DoubleTree by Hilton Melbourne – Flinders Street, has partnered with Fondue Chalet to transform one of its Loft Rooms into a cosy, alpine-inspired winter retreat, launching the Winter Chalet Package, a perfect city escape during the colder months.

Designed to capture the spirit of a French alpine chalet in winter, the two-storey Loft Room has been reimagined with faux fur throws, warm timber details, French alpine chalet decoration, and glowing candles, offering guests an intimate retreat just steps from Melbourne's laneways, boutiques and riverside dining.

Upon arrival, guests are welcomed with a decadent in-room hot chocolate station, brimming with rich, velvety cocoa and an array of indulgent toppings, the perfect way to warm up and unwind. Upstairs, the inviting loft bedroom offers a cosy, intimate haven to relax and escape the winter chill.

Each stay includes breakfast for two at Platform 270, the hotel's relaxed, ground-floor restaurant, serving a seasonal morning menu.

Guests will also receive an exclusive 15% discount code to enjoy the Fondue Chalet at Federation Square, Melbourne's chic riverside pop-up, where French cheese, fine wine, and decadent Godiva chocolates are served around crackling fire pits beneath the open sky. This first-of-its-kind experience is only here for a limited time, making it the perfect opportunity to indulge in Melbourne's ultimate winter escape.

The DoubleTree by Hilton Melbourne – Flinders Street Winter Chalet Package prices start from $395 per night and includes:

• Overnight stay for two in the transformed Winter Chalet Loft Room
