"How did it strike you on arrival? The Westin Melbourne holds its own against the city's big-chain competition, thanks to its central Collins Street location, light-and-airy feel, and impressively maintained guest rooms. It may lack buzz, but sometimes "solid" is better than "showy." Nice. What’s the crowd like? This Westin property is well-known to business travelers who appreciate its seamless operation, and to Starwood devotees, who take advantage of generous pre-booking discounts. It's a largely adult crowd—although there's a Kids Club, families can find the place a bit buttoned up—which keeps noise levels under control in common areas. The good stuff: Tell us about your room. The generously proportioned entry-level Westin Room (38 square meters, 409 square feet) is a pared-back study in white-and-cream tones and functional furniture. Solid work desks, enveloping armchairs, and large bathrooms with tubs come as standard. We love the Westin Workout Room, which includes a treadmill or bike, plus free weights; and the enormous Regent Suite, which boasts wraparound windows with downtown views. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Anything of note? Even by hotel standards, the in-room bottled water here is expensive; and the Wi-Fi is only free if you book directly with the hotel, so plan accordingly. Room service and food: Worth it? The excellent restaurant, Allegro, caters to regular visitors by updating its menu seasonally—a welcome change to the play-it-safe ethos at many Australian hotel restaurants. A recent highlight? Blackened duck breast with burnt honey figs, broad bean shiso, and white onion salad. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whatever stuck with you. All of downtown Melbourne is walkable, but The Westin's location is next-level convenient: step out the front doors and turn right for the chic, leafy "Paris End" of Collins Street, or turn left for direct access to bustling Swanston Street and the city focal point of Federation Square. Bottom line: worth it, and why? This unbeatably located and reliably no-fuss luxury property is ideal for visitors who want maximize their productivity while in town." - Dan F. Stapleton
