The house
OvoloMemphis-inspired laneway bolthole
Apartment-style living takes on a playful edge here, shaped by graphic patterns, saturated colors, and Melbourne laneway culture.
“Although early press stuck the "millennial" tag on this downtown boutique, it's since won over a much broader demographic with its distinctive offering: colorful, modern rooms.”
What it’s good at
Notable
Luchetti Krelle interiors take cues from 1980s Memphis Group geometry and bold color.

In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set at the top of Little Bourke Street, the hotel opens directly into the East End Theatre District beside Chinatown.
The rooms
Apartment suites pair full kitchens with geometric headboards, and top-floor penthouses add outdoor hot tubs on private rooftop terraces.
At the table
Amphlett House serves Victorian craft beers and elevated pub dishes, and the lobby holds an arched honesty bar.
