Overview
Sorolla Restaurant is the signature dining venue at AC Hotel Melbourne Southbank, reflecting the hotel’s European heritage and understated elegance. True to the AC brand’s Spanish roots, Sorolla draws inspiration from the Mediterranean coast, focusing on clean flavours, seasonal produce, and modern presentation.
The all-day menu moves effortlessly from energising breakfasts to leisurely lunches and refined evening meals. Morning offerings include artisanal breads, fresh fruit, charcuterie, and made-to-order hot dishes. By day and night, the menu leans into Mediterranean-inspired fare—think grilled seafood, vibrant salads, premium steaks, and pasta dishes balanced with local ingredients and a subtle Spanish influence.
The restaurant’s name, “Sorolla,” nods to Spanish painter Joaquín Sorolla, known for his luminous seascapes, and the space itself captures a similar sense of light and openness. Floor-to-ceiling windows, warm timber accents, and contemporary furnishings create a calm, inviting environment suited to both solo diners and groups.
Wine and cocktails are thoughtfully selected, with an emphasis on Australian and European varietals, alongside a concise list of signature drinks that complement the menu’s coastal influences. Service is polished but relaxed, echoing the AC Hotels philosophy of delivering seamless hospitality.
Whether enjoyed as part of a hotel stay or as a destination meal, Sorolla offers an experience that is fresh, modern, and quietly sophisticated—perfect for those who appreciate the fusion of European tradition and Melbourne’s cosmopolitan style.
