What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
The style is contemporary, but influenced by Art Deco, appropriate for the French-born Sofitel sub-brand MGallery.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Link, a soaring arched timber walkway, connects the lobby directly to Chadstone's designer shopping arcades.
The rooms
Art Deco details shape the bedrooms, finished with dusty-pink headboards and deep soaking tubs.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated indoor magnesium pool curves along level twelve, lined with curtained daybed cabanas looking over the skyline.
The spa
Plaster archways lead through Holism Retreat to nine treatment rooms and a dedicated LED light therapy lounge.
The gym
The mezzanine fitness centre is equipped with Technogym machines, cardio gear, and free weights facing wall-to-wall mirrors.
Restaurant
Pastore
Chef Scott Pickett shapes Italian dishes with open woodfire cooking and house-made pasta in the ground-floor dining room.
The ensemble is a textbook example of a perfectly proportioned spa that is spacious but still possesses a sense of intimacy.
Altus Rooftop Bar & Lounge
Brass arches and a chandelier of wine glasses rise above this twelfth-floor lounge overlooking Port Phillip Bay.
At the table
Private dining tables sit wrapped in floor-to-ceiling corner windows with views across the Melbourne skyline.
How it began
Architects Bates Smart sculpted the tower's curved glass facade to echo the pleats and drape of haute couture.
