Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors open to the Southbank promenade, with the National Gallery of Victoria and Flinders Street Station a short walk away.
The rooms
Italian marble bathrooms hold deep soaking tubs, while terrace suites open onto private balconies overlooking the river.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A 16-metre heated pool sits beneath a pitched glass roof and opens onto an outdoor sun deck.
The spa
Chuan Spa incorporates Traditional Chinese Medicine into its bodywork, with circular soaking tubs and curtained relaxation daybeds.
The gym
The ninth-floor fitness centre looks over the city skyline, equipped with interactive treadmills and strength machines.
At the table
Melba features live cooking stations overlooking the Yarra River, and Aria pours cocktails in the lounge.
The pervasive presence of pink throughout the luxury hotel creates a tastefully decadent atmosphere, with accents of satin and brocade enhancing the modern décor.
