About Clarendon Station

Clarendon Station is a Malaysian and Asian-fusion restaurant and bar located inside the historic Clarendon Hotel on Clarendon Street in South Melbourne, Victoria. It’s known for dishes like curry laksa, nasi lemak, roti, and other Malaysian-inspired classics, alongside a selection of Asian-style share plates, pub favourites, wines, beers, and cocktails. The venue caters to hotel guests and walk‑ins for lunch and dinner, and charges are processed through the Clarendon Hotel’s point‑of‑sale system, which may list the merchant name as “Clarendon Station,” “Clarendon Hotel,” or a variation of both on your bank statement.

A Clarendon Station charge typically appears on your bank or credit card statement when you’ve dined at the restaurant or bar, ordered food or drinks to your room as a hotel guest, or settled a group bill where your card was used. You may also see a charge if you paid a deposit for a large booking, function, or event held at the venue, or if a room tab was finalised at check‑out. In some cases, the restaurant’s charges can be bundled under your hotel folio, so what you remember as a “hotel” charge may post under “Clarendon Station,” and vice versa. You might also see a temporary pre‑authorisation if your card was used to open a tab or guarantee a booking.

If you’re unsure about the charge, start by checking recent receipts, text/email booking confirmations, and any hotel invoices from the Clarendon Hotel around the date of the transaction. Compare the transaction date and amount with any lunches, dinners, drinks, or room service orders you may have had there. To resolve questions, contact the Clarendon Hotel/Clarendon Station team via the contact details on hotelclarendon.com.au or by calling the hotel’s front desk and asking for accounts or restaurant staff; they can look up your bill using the charge amount, date, and the last four digits of your card. Common issues (like split bills, tips, or tabs closed to the wrong card) are usually resolved by reviewing the itemised receipt and, if needed, issuing a corrected charge or refund.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from Clarendon Station on my bank statement?

A Clarendon Station charge usually means your card was used to pay for dining or drinks at the restaurant or bar inside the Clarendon Hotel in South Melbourne. This could be from a sit‑down meal, bar tab, room service to your hotel room, or a function/booking deposit. Sometimes restaurant and hotel charges are processed under the same hotel system, so a restaurant visit may appear as “Clarendon Station” even if you recall it as a hotel charge.

What are typical charge amounts from Clarendon Station?

Typical restaurant charges can range from modest lunch spends (for example, a single main and drink) to larger totals for dinner, cocktails, and shared dishes. If you’re a hotel guest, your restaurant and bar charges may be consolidated with your room bill and appear as one larger transaction at check‑out. Function deposits or group bookings may show as a round amount (e.g., a fixed per‑head or deposit figure) rather than an odd total like a normal meal bill.

Why is there a small or duplicate Clarendon Station charge on my card?

A small or seemingly duplicate amount can be a pre‑authorisation hold used when you open a bar or room tab, or when the hotel verifies your card at check‑in. Pre‑authorisations are temporary holds, not final charges, and should drop off automatically within a few business days, depending on your bank. If a hold appears to have converted into a permanent duplicate, contact the Clarendon Hotel’s accounts or restaurant team so they can review and, if needed, reverse any accidental double charge.

Can Clarendon Station charges be recurring or part of a subscription?

Clarendon Station does not operate subscription meal plans or recurring memberships; charges are typically one‑off transactions tied to a specific visit, booking, or hotel stay. However, if you are staying multiple nights at the Clarendon Hotel, you may see repeated charges on different days for separate meals or drinks. Occasionally, all food and beverage spend is posted in one combined transaction at the end of your stay, depending on how the hotel processes your folio.

How can I get a copy of my receipt or itemised bill from Clarendon Station?

If you need a detailed receipt, contact the Clarendon Hotel via the details on hotelclarendon.com.au and provide the charge amount, date, approximate time, and the last four digits of your card. If you were a hotel guest, include your booking name and stay dates so they can locate your folio. The team can usually email you a tax invoice or itemised bill showing food, drinks, surcharges, and any gratuity added.

How do I dispute a Clarendon Station charge or request a refund?

First, reach out directly to the Clarendon Hotel/Clarendon Station to review the transaction with them; many issues (such as charges to the wrong table or incorrect tip amounts) can be resolved quickly once they see the bill. Use the contact form or phone number listed on hotelclarendon.com.au and ask for the restaurant or accounts department. If a billing error is confirmed, they can process a reversal or refund back to your original payment method; allow a few business days for it to appear with your bank.

Why is the merchant description different from what I remember (e.g., Clarendon Hotel vs Clarendon Station)?

Clarendon Station operates within the Clarendon Hotel, and both share the same payment and booking systems. Depending on your bank and how the terminal was configured at the time of payment, the descriptor on your statement may show as “Clarendon Station,” “Clarendon Hotel,” or a shortened variation of either name. If you dined or stayed at the Clarendon Hotel around the transaction date, the charge is likely related to that visit, even if the descriptor doesn’t match exactly what you recall.

How can I confirm the charge is mine if I don’t recognize visiting Clarendon Station?

Check your calendar, messages, and ride‑share/transport receipts for any trips to South Melbourne, as you may have dined there as part of a hotel stay, work function, or group outing. Also ask family members or colleagues who may have used your card to settle a shared bill. If you still don’t recognise the charge, contact the Clarendon Hotel with the transaction details so they can look up the bill; if it appears fraudulent, notify your bank to dispute the charge and block any unauthorised card use.
