About the hotel

Step into Melbourne’s cultural heart at this central stay, where the city’s theatre district, Chinatown, boutique shopping and major sporting precincts are all just moments from your door. This is your front-row seat to Melbourne’s energetic lifestyle, whether you’re chasing curtain call at Her Majesty’s Theatre or hunting down dumplings on Little Bourke.

At ground level, Bossley Bar & Restaurant brings Melbourne’s iconic food scene indoors, with clever takes on classics using produce sourced from across Victoria. Settle into a green leather booth for a long dinner before the theatre or head down for a generous buffet breakfast that makes the perfect jumping-off point for the day’s city adventures.

Head upstairs to the rooftop and swap street-level bustle for sky-high calm – the year-round heated pool is a rare gem in the city, perfect for a morning swim above the skyline. Just inside, the hotel’s interactive fitness studio is kitted out with the latest tech, ideal for balancing indulgence with movement.
