The restoration of the heritage suites is a key element of the hotel design and saw extensive research conducted by interior designers Bates Smart into the history of the site. Originally leased out to legal professionals, the first floor of the Equity Chambers building now houses the new heritage suites and meeting spaces, while the ground floor and mezzanine have been transformed into The Douglas Club and Luci restaurant.

The hotel’s King Junior Suite, King Premium Suite and King Master Suite are located from level one to four of the former Equity Chambers building with access through the heritage Bourke Street lobby and restored 1930s elevator, while the King Premier Corner Rooms are in the new tower and provide city skyline views.

King Master Suite from $600

Housed within the south-west corner of the heritage wing, the King Master Suite offers 55 square metres of space, with an entry hall and separate living area. The suite features a workspace, Wi-Fi, a king Hilton Serenity bed, two 55-inch HD smart TVs, media hub and a light-filled bathroom with a deep bathtub and walk-in shower.

Previously used as a boardroom and office for the legal fraternity, the Master King Suite has retained its heritage character, seeing the original timber panelling and decorative mouldings restored along with cast bronze grills below the casement windows, a like-for like replica of the original.
