Art Deco survivor
The 1928 address revives its Jazz Age heritage with velvet-draped lounges and an unpretentious, central Melbourne pace.
What it’s good at
Notable
A preserved 1928 Art Deco facade that once hosted mid-century touring jazz legends.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Southern Cross Station sits directly across the street, and Marvel Stadium is an easy ten-minute walk away.
The rooms
Bathrooms have black-and-white chequerboard floors, and bedrooms are finished with custom geometric carpets and plush velvet.
The spa and gym
V Hotel Spa offers massages and soaking tub treatments, and the guest fitness centre is open around the clock.
The Alexander Bar
Prohibition-era cocktails and local charcuterie boards are served at the marble counter, with live jazz on Thursday evenings.
At the table
Breakfast is served beneath a ten-storey glass atrium lit by natural daylight and Art Deco chandeliers.
How it began
Before its revival, the 1920s hotel spent three decades operating as a training academy for Victorian police cadets.
