The Esplanade Hotel
The legendary ‘Espy’ Hotel is as much a historic gem as an iconic musical one. Built in 1878 (that’s old for Australia) the hotel is one of the most picturesque venues to bang your head to the live sounds of a local band. Overlooking the beach in St Kilda, the atmosphere of The Esplanade Hotel is wonderful and diverse. The Espy has several bands rooms, and usually features multiple live acts every night. Some renovations are currently in progress, but the Espy assures us she’ll be back better than ever in no time.
