1:23Now PlayingDevelopers have converted the 170-year-old HM Prison Pentridge into a first-of-its-kind urban wellness resort in Melbourne, Australia.

The 19th-century facility, just 20 minutes north of Melbourne, was transformed into “a billion-dollar dining and entertainment precinct” by TFE Hotels, which announced the site's opening in a statement over the weekend. The Heritage-listed precinct is one of the oldest prisons in Australia and one of the country’s longest operating penitentiaries.
Guests will soon be able to visit the redeveloped 170-year-old site, which features 19 “exclusive heritage suites,” each created out of 4 to 5 original cells with vaulted brick ceilings, original cell doors and bluestone walls. Prison cells were also adapted into an elegant wine bar called Olivine, which opened last month.
