The Adelphi Hotel was originally constructed in 1938 is located in one of Melbourne’s most famous lane ways at 187 Flinders Lane. The hotel was purchased and renovated by Denton Corker Marshall Architects in 1989. Its architecture style pushed the conventional design of Melbourne hotels, redefining the type of architecture hotels are supposed to have, and was considered one of the boldest buildings of Melbourne in 1994. It was something unexpected that broke away from Melbourne’s dull reputation compared to Sydney or New York.
