15 Best Hotels in Melbourne | Condé Nast Traveler
"Affordable-luxe hotels have been slow to catch on in Australia, but Ovolo Laneways, a centrally located boutique, does the "everything you need, nothing you don't" thing just as well as its Northern-Hemisphere peers. Ovolo is well-known for its freebies, which include minibar snacks such as cookies and chips; a light "grab 'n' go" breakfast; Wi-Fi; Apple TV, and a lobby Happy Hour. The standard Studio rooms are light and bright, with curved windows that make them seem much bigger than they are. Then there are the suites, which get progressively louder as they increase in size. The Penthouse Suite is a riotous mix of bright colors and holiday toys, including a pinball machine, a hot tub on the terrace, and a candy buffet." - Dan F. Stapleton
