Fern’s Hidden Winter Garden

Fern's Hidden Winter Garden invites guests to discover a warm and unique winter dining experience tucked within Fern Bar and Dining. Hidden away on Level 2 of Hotel Indigo Melbourne Little Collins, three private botanical conservatories create an intimate escape for up to six guests. Surrounded by lush greenery, soft fairy lights and thoughtful hospitality touches, each conservatory feels worlds away from the street outside. Set menus by Executive Chef Darryl Hand are designed to be shared and savoured. Shared entrees arrive for the table, each guest selects their own plated main, and the experience ends with desserts to share. Premium menu highlights include freshly shucked oysters, wagyu rump and a rich chocolate fondue to finish. Guests can indulge in a suite of signature cocktails by Little Lon Distilling Co, Melbourne's only city distillery, including a tableside spectacle of glowing bubbles, rising smoke and vivid colour that arrives like theatre. The wine list is curated by Giant Steps, one of the Yarra Valley's most celebrated producers, anchored by Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Rose. Intimate enough for six, lush enough to feel hidden from the city, and warm enough to make this the best seat in Melbourne this winter. Bookings are essential.
