Highlights

Pool: Year-round heated rooftop pool with city views and pool bar

Dining: Dolly restaurant serving European dishes with Victorian produce

Location: 1-minute walk from Princess Theatre, on Collins Street

Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible facilities, tactile signs, and auditory guidance

Rooms: Select rooms with kitchenettes and the 60 sqm Parliament Suite

“The hotel certainly aims for a luxury experience, particularly with its rooftop pool deck and Mediterranean-inspired dining, yet some aspects need to catch up to the overall ambition. Its location on Collins Street places guests directly amidst Melbourne's high fashion and cultural landmarks, with the mid-century modern design adding character. In my opinion, the property shows promise but could refine its service standards to truly stand out in the luxury market.”

excellent location tram station small beds limited furniture
the location was EXCELLENT for the cbd with the spring street tram station right outside. it's at the start of the free zone and a plethora of fantastic cafes are within walking distance. our room was very spacious and clean, i liked that.
the beds WERE small doubles and very firm. i found them uncomfortable but bed preference is very personal, it's true. the pool zone is too small for the amount of people wanting to use it. there is not enough pool furniture.
