Catering to a market for luxury, boutique accommodation, coupled with service guaranteed to exceed expectations, The Provincial Hotel boasts an atmosphere of sophistication and appreciation of fine detail.

Restaurant Lola offers stylish, European-inspired dining, which is beautifully shaped each season and utilises the region’s best locally sourced produce.

The 55 seat dining room provides a relaxed and elegant dining experience, beautifully styled to compliment the signature hotel design.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
