Just minutes from Frankston’s shoreline, beach-fresh air mingles with the aroma of expertly curated seasonal fare at Hotel Lona. This lively venue offers a diverse dining experience that includes casual bites and upscale meals, and successfully blends different atmospheres across its multi-level space.

The full-service dining room, next to the public bar, has elevated its offering under a new head chef. Featuring upmarket bistro-style dishes like chicken provencal, prawn linguine, and porterhouse alongside traditional pub fare, the menu proudly showcases Peninsula produce. With at least 10 weekly specials, there's always something new.

For those seeking a more laid-back vibe, the public bar provides casual dining with bi-fold windows opening onto the street and sports on screen. It's an ideal spot to enjoy quality wines, cocktails and light bites.

The crown jewel of Hotel Lona is undoubtedly its roof top. Designed for year-round use, it’s a sun-drenched oasis in summer and a cosy, enclosed space in winter. On weekends, the atmosphere buzzes with live music, making it the perfect spot for a long lunch. As the sun sinks below the horizon, watch the space transform from lively dining into a late-night Rooftop Club with DJs and a packed dance floor.

For special occasions, the private dining room on the top level accommodates up to 25 seated guests, with flexible catering options available.

Hotel Lona's commitment to live music shines through, particularly in summer, with performances up to five nights a week. The venue also hosts various events throughout the year, from Christmas in July to special bottomless menu offerings.

With its modern, artistic fit-out and prime location, Hotel Lona offers a dining experience that's simultaneously sophisticated and friendly. Whether you're after a weekday lunch, weeknight dinner or a weekend catch-up, this favourite delivers on all fronts.
