Southern Cross Station sits a short walk away, and Flinders Lane leads east toward the city's central restaurant strip.
The rooms
Rooms carry fashion photography prints and sleek modern furnishings. Everything feels fresh from the recent renovation.
The gym
The mezzanine-level fitness centre runs on bodyweight-powered equipment and cardio gear, set against mirrored walls and slatted ceilings.
Restaurant
Bistrot Bisou
Chef Luke Mangan oversees this French bistro, where modern plates arrive at leather banquettes beside sheer street-facing curtains.
How it began
The hotel opened in 1990 as a Holiday Inn, before a twenty-million-dollar overhaul reinvented the property in 2023.
