The Atelier Stay
Clyde House Atelier
A character-filled Melbourne city retreat in the heart of the theatre district and Paris End of Collins Street.For creative and curious people who appreciate beautiful things.
The Paris End
Uptown Melbourne Retreat
Nestled within Melbourne's historic Clyde House building (est. 1915), Clyde House Atelier draws inspiration from the European influences of its era and the spirit of atelier living.Surrounded by grand architecture, theatres, luxury boutiques and celebrated restaurants, it offers a thoughtful city retreat in one of Melbourne's most storied neighbourhoods.
Why Atelier?
Stay Slowly
Atelier is a French word traditionally used to describe an artist's studio — a place of creativity and thoughtful living.For us, it represents a slower way to experience Melbourne. A place to linger over coffee, discover hidden laneways, enjoy an evening at the theatre, and return to a space filled with character and comfort.A place to revive, sip, and stay slowly.
Thoughtfully Curated
The Apartment
Clyde House Atelier has been carefully refreshed to create a warm and character-filled city retreat.A nod to the past, with the comforts of today, the interior combines rich colours, collected items, books and thoughtful details designed to make guests feel at home.Designed for solo travellers, couples or friends exploring the city together, the cosy apartment features a private Queen bedroom, plus a single sofa bed within the living space for 2-3 guests.
Rest Well
A Quiet Retreat
Designed for comfort after a day exploring the city, the bedroom combines soft textures, a touch of whimsy and warm lighting to create a calm and inviting retreat.A place to unwind, recharge and prepare for another day discovering Melbourne.

History of Clyde House
A Jacobean style ornate building designed by architect, Nahum Barnet.. on the Paris end of Collins St, neighbouring Town Hall and opposite the famed Regent Theatre. Neatly positioned above High-end restaurants and designer retail.
Ladies LoungeOne of Clyde House's most charming stories dates back to the 1940s, when Clyde House was a bustling office building, surrounded by stylish stores and the peak of Melbourne Couture.As more women entered the workforce during WWII, the building introduced a dedicated Ladies Lounge—a stylish retreat complete with a manicure bar, parcel desk, hosiery repair service and even a "headache bar."Theatre Club
With the opening of the stunning Regent theatre in 1929, Clyde House soon became home to Melbourne's Theatre Lovers' Club, hosting readings, performances and weekly gatherings for the city's vibrant arts community.
