Where to find it: On the Eastlink toll road, near the Greens Rd exit.
For generations (well, since 2007) travellers on Melbourne’s Eastlink road have asked the question “What the heck, is that a real hotel just in the middle of nowhere?!”.
‘Eastlink Hotel’ is a public artwork by Melbourne-based artist, Callum Morton, who created the work as “a giant folly”.
And he’s been effective in that endeavour, turning heads and baffling motorists for years with the playful work that realistically recreates a generic but utterly nonfunctional hotel building.
Fun fact: ‘Eastlink Hotel’ also appears on the cover of Violent Femmes’ 2019 album, Hotel Last Resort.
