The 6 Best Hotels in Melbourne

"This four-star aparthotel in the city’s CBD feels like a 19th-century landmark that’s been thoughtfully updated: I like the high ceilings and gilded crown molding in the public spaces and the way the hotel balances historic character with modern comforts. Amenities include a fitness center, a complimentary evening happy hour, and a daily complimentary breakfast buffet with hot dishes, pastries, cereals, and fresh fruit. Rooms are spacious with large windows, neutral, sophisticated design, and quality furnishings; suites have a kitchenette with mini-fridge, microwave, and Nespresso, while full apartments add a cooktop and dishwasher. All rooms include a washer/dryer, a large TV with Netflix, a good work desk, and modern bathrooms with walk-in showers, premium toiletries, and soft towels—overall a great choice for travelers who want a centrally located upscale hotel with kitchen facilities." - Matthew Kepnes
