In one of the most daring and avant-garde moves in the hotel industry to date, Jackalope Hotel was launched in April 2017 in the heart of Australia’s Mornington Peninsula wine region. Fuelled by a desire to merge his love of film and the arts with his family hotel legacy, owner Louis Li’s vision was to create a most unique escape.

Briefed to create an otherworldly experience rich with narrative and imagination the interiors of Jackalope’s signature bar Flaggerdoot represent a fusion of art, design and storytelling to create a transportive experience away from the everyday. Celebrating the mystery and whimsy of alchemy and the art of transformation, Flaggerdoot, sparks curiosity in an adventurous and edgy salute to experimentation and intrigue.

Courageous and adventurous, Flaggerdoot’s narrative reflects on distillation, the first stage of alchemy, representing the beginning of a journey and a taste of the story to follow. Effective in defining a sense of purpose and place, the bar immediately captivates and surprises. Eclectic, experimental and contemporary in detailing, Flaggerdoot represents a unique and rare space fuelled by a transformative and truly design-driven narrative.

Part object, part installation, part art, part theatre, Flaggerdoot immerses guests in a journey that delights and excites.
