Don’t let the hotel’s heritage fool you, though — while it’s packed with timeless charm and Old World attention to detail, the Grand Hyatt is modern in both its facilities and its design.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Steps from high-end boutiques and heritage theatres, the hotel sits at the center of Melbourne's famed dining laneways and cultural hubs.
The rooms
Expansive windows frame the skyline and Yarra River, complemented by Italian marble bathrooms and custom king beds dressed in Egyptian cotton.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Geometric checkerboard tiles line the heated indoor pool, which sits beneath recessed lighting beside a mirrored wall.
The spa
Private treatment rooms host massage and body therapies, steps from the steam room and sauna.
The gym
The 24-hour fitness centre includes Life Fitness cardio machines, daily group classes, and an open-air rooftop tennis court.
Restaurant
Collins Kitchen
Chefs prepare meals at interactive open cooking stations throughout the dining room, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Ru-Co Bar
Carved stone head sculptures watch over the moody cocktail counter, backed by a glowing 2,700-bottle wine wall.
At the table
High on level 31, the lounge serves breakfast pastries, light refreshments, and evening drinks overlooking Melbourne's skyline.
How it began
Architectural firm Peddle Thorp & Walker designed the golden-hued tower in 1986, establishing one of the city's original luxury landmarks.
