The Trust

The Trust evokes the timeless grandeur of Manhattan in Melbourne’s West End. The new hospitality, function and event space has revitalised the ground-floor interior of one of Melbourne’s most outstanding Beaux Arts buildings – the Port Authority Building completed in 1929. Inspired by the building’s exquisite craftsmanship and decorative schemes and detailing, we restored and elevated the interior to align with its architectural heritage and brought it into the modern era, infusing the space with the warmth and charm of modern European hospitality.
