This year is set to sizzle with a host of hot new hotels slated to open across Australia in 2017. Sure there are plenty of new hotels of the chain variety set to open in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, but we have our eye for style on the boutique, unique and independent.
Here are details of the most anticipated new hotel openings in 2017:
Jackalope, Mornington Peninsula
Just 44 sleeps until this luxury hotel opens in Victoria's Mornington Peninsula on the rural surrounds of Willow Creek Vineyard. Comprising 46 luxury rooms overlooking the vines and rural surrounds and boasting curated designer details throughout, this is luxury re-imagined. Sure to become one of the "must visit" dining destinations, guests will enjoy onsite Doot Doot Doot Restaurant and lobby wine bar. Standby for Australia's most anticipated new art hotel.

We can hardly wait for this storytelling hotel to open mid year.
