Warm, neutral tones, punctuated with bright colour splashes make the lobby an inviting area for guests to lounge The play of warm, neutral colours and materials against vibrant soft furnishings bring a sense of cool, urban chic to the apartments. The architect’s penchant for natural lighting means every unit boasts floor to ceiling windows, so you can have sweeping views of Melbourne’s city skyline and beyond. Every apartment is cleverly designed to maximise space, from the unique kitchen design to the moveable features in the living room. Broadband Internet access along with a complete home entertainment system of cable TV, DVD, CD and iPod player are at your disposal.

“Excellent location, everything I wanted was in walking distance or a short tram ride away, the tram is right outside! I stayed for work but can’t wait to come back and stay with my husband and go to one of the amazing restaurants surrounding the property and have a night at the theatre. The rooms are well-equipped with everything you need. The bed is huge and all the facilities are new as the hotel opened in July. The staff was friendly and helpful, they made it so easy for me to get to all my meetings with their knowledge of Melbourne,” says Alicia Power. Kassie Griffiths agrees, “Refreshing and vibrant! I’ve stayed at this property three times now and it really does feel like a home away from home, just with much better facilities. The gym , pool and sauna are perfect for my active lifestyle. The hotel is situated in a prime location, central to all that the Melbourne CBD has to offer. Great choice of restaurants all located in short strolling distance, or for those cold winter nights, I have the option to cook up a storm as each room offers extensive cooking facilities and utensils. The friendly staff are eager to greet me and it’s a nice personal touch that they remember my name.“
