SOUTH YARRA COFFEE PALACE

This former Coffee Palace has more recently been used as the Claremont Hotel. Situated on the corner of Toorak Road and Claremont Street, the site is one of the important gateways to the South Yarra’s Forrest Hill precinct. The Palace is heritage protected so the new 11 storey mixed use building has to integrate with it expertly. The Palace building and part of the new building will comprise retail and offices and 54 apartments will be built on the upper levels, all in keeping with Stonnington’s Activity Centre policy.
