One of Australia’s most famous examples of Art Deco architecture, the Palaise Theatre maintains a significant presence on the country’s cultural landscape. Consult the local newspapers for the latest events unfolding here, which have included the likes of The Corrs, Tom Jones, The Rolling Stones, Bob Hope and many other talented acts throughout the course of the Palais’s history. It is in close proximity to luxury service apartments in Melbourne that offer premium accommodation, and the Somerset on Elizabeth Melbourne features a superb set of Melbourne serviced apartments for your pleasure. The beautiful exteriors of the Palais Theatre feature inspiring Moorish elements flanked by domed towers on either side for that unmistakably Arab ambiance. This style occurs in many buildings surrounding the Palaise, especially Luna Park to the south, St. Kilda Sea Baths, and the St. Kilda Pavilion. The Palais’ outer features are graced by Egyptian elements, and when one venture into the theatre’s interiors, one will be indisputably floored by the majestic baroque trappings adorning the historic space, which makes any performance here utterly transportive.
