ABOUT THE HOTEL ROOM
Welcome to the Lost & Found Hotel Room 2011. Now in its second year, the hotel is a unique place to stay - designed especially for Lost & Found readers. Basically, we love writing to you about the best of Melbourne but we'd rather you just came to visit – so we've created a place that brings our online publication to life, offline.

This year the Lost & Found Hotel Room is located on Level 2 at Captains of Industry, 2 Somerset Place, Melbourne, 3000. Described as a "gentlemen's outfitters and cafe", Captains is not just our favourite place to get coffee. It's home to a tailor, a shoemaker, a barber, a cut-throat shaver - and the city's best Turkish Club sandwich. Staying upstairs, you'll be the first person to pop in and see Thom for a coffee in the morning, but he won't mind because he's that kind of guy.

To ensure guests get the most out of their trip to Melbourne, the Lost & Found Hotel Room has its own dedicated concierge to make bookings and provide insider tips for exploring Melbourne. Your concierge also writes for the Lost & Found publication so you can expect them to be very well informed.
Creative Partners
You don’t need forensic skills to notice the fingerprint that Six Degrees have left on the Melbourne since they first built Meyer’s Place – the city’s first small bar – in 1993. Their resourceful design approach continues to turn ridiculous ideas into realities.
As a guest of last year’s hotel room, we were pleased to invite Sydney-based artist and graphic design Jonathan Zawada back to design of Lost & Found Volume 6. Elegant yet eccentric, we hope that his interpretation of Melbourne is as inspiring for our guests as it is for us.
When Right Angle Studio helped produce the first edition of the Lost & Found Publication, they had no idea that four years later someone would be sleeping in it. Obsessed with cities and the people and places that make it great, Lost & Found is a dream that Right Angle hopes to never wake up from.
Project Partners
Since the beginning, Tourism Victoria has worked closely with its project partners to create and curate Lost & Found – an insider’s guide for culturally conscious people living outside of Melbourne. Whether through the publication or the hotel room, Lost & Found opens doors and always greets readers and guests with open arms.
Arts Victoria has been a key partner in the Lost and Found project since 2006. From Artist Run Initiatives, to theatre, contemporary music to independent publications, Arts Victoria supports Lost & Found as a showcase of the lesser known aspects and incredible variety of Victoria’s Arts.
