The Best Places to Go in 2025: 16 Editor-Approved Hotels Worth the Trip | Condé Nast Traveler

"Rising as a rust‑colored, 191‑room hotel built from local brick, concrete, and hardwood, this Kennedy Nolan‑designed debut captures Melbourne’s energy: the linen‑draped check‑in desk with a supersized video‑art installation ushers you into a guest lounge blanketed in a retina‑popping fuchsia carpet, while suites are light‑flooded showstoppers with timber, burnt orange, terrazzo, triple‑height floor‑to‑ceiling windows, outdoor terraces, and immense city views. The rooftop—with its bar and retractable restaurant Mid Air encased by a soaring brick wall and dramatic portholes—feels like a floating fortress and a magnet for both guests and locals.
