Merricks North, Australia
Jackalope Hotel, Mornington Peninsula
Set on a working vineyard in Merricks North, Jackalope Hotel occupies a design tier that few Australian properties attempt: 44 rooms with Japanese soaking tubs and heated floors, a 30-metre black infinity pool overlooking the vines, and a floor-to-ceiling glass wine cellar that doubles as a spatial statement. Recognised by La Liste's Top Hotels ranking in 2026 and a member of Leading Hotels of the World, it sits an hour from Melbourne.
