It’s no secret that a generous portion of pasta can set you into a sleepy state, and now those feasting at Lygon Street’s famed Italian eateries can rest easy a Zagame’s House Boutique Hotel.

The newly opened 97-room hotel from the Zagame Group is bringing a dose of design-driven accommodation to Carlton. Once the site of the Downtowner Hotel, Zagame’s House is the result of an 18-million-dollar refurbishment.

A master of fueng shui, Edgar Lok Tin Yung, was consulted to ensure the flow of qi throughout the hotel was primed for sound sleep and relaxation.

No details have been overlooked at this harmonised hotel. Australian fashion label Robbandlulu have designed the staff’s uniforms, amenities have been supplied by UK’s Cowshed and the mini bar includes Mansfield Coffee Merchant’s coffee, alongside Everleigh Bottling Co. cocktails.

Inside, a neighbourhood wine shop and bar, ‘Lord Lygon’, a private event space, and a coffeehouse and kitchen, ‘Lobby 1851′, will keep travellers’ spirits (and sugars) high.
