The Hotel – See the best of Melbourne in sleek city style
Set right at the centre of Melbourne’s theatre district, Rydges Melbourne channels the city’s creative spirit with bold sophistication and a touch of old-world style.
This urban retreat places guests at the cultural core of the city, flanked by Chinatown’s bustling laneways and the iconic stages of Her Majesty’s Theatre and the Princess Theatre. From here, it’s a short stroll to Emporium, Melbourne Central and the Collins Street shopping districts, and a quick tram ride to the MCG and Rod Laver Arena sporting precinct, as well as being just moments from famed cafes and street art.
Upstairs, a year-round heated rooftop pool frames the skyline in every direction – the perfect spot for a pre-show dip or a slow morning with Melbourne stretched out below. Inside, spaces are light, fresh and artfully appointed, while an interactive fitness studio is perfect for those keeping up their routine on the road.
Downstairs, Bossley Bar & Restaurant anchors the hotel with moody leather booths, glowing green accents and warm hospitality. Executive Chef Paul Griffiths brings a theatrical flair to the menu – think elevated classics made with Victorian produce, from pre-theatre bites to seasonal mains. The terrace spills onto Exhibition Street, where cocktails and city-watching go hand in hand.
