About the hotel

Experience the essence of Melbourne at this inner-city haven, where lattes, laneways and the city’s signature trams set the scene. Its distinctive interior design, cosmopolitan atmosphere and avant-garde touches create a stylish retreat, ideal for exploring romantic rooftop bars, art-filled streets and upscale boutiques.

Return to light-filled, self-contained apartments – each featuring a fully equipped kitchen, spacious living area and laundry facilities – and sample Victorian-focused wines, hand-selected by world-renowned sommeliers, at Edwin Wine Bar and Cellar.

Laze by the hotel’s shimmering heated pool, spend cooler evenings by the fireplace in the hotel’s sleek rooftop garden space, or savour masterful cocktails. A sauna and steam room are also on offer, perfect for unwinding after a busy day exploring Melbourne’s best attractions such as the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria or Arts Centre Melbourne.
