I recently stayed at Le Méridien Melbourne and overall had a very good experience, though not quite the full five-star standard the hotel aspires to. ||The highlights:|The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the pillow menu was a thoughtful luxury touch. My room was a generous size for the CBD, and the design subtly compensated for the lack of a view with tasteful furnishings and clever layout. The bathroom was a real standout—beautifully appointed with a spacious rainfall shower and excellent quality shampoo and conditioner.||Where it fell short:|The in-room tea and coffee selection was surprisingly limited. For a five-star property, I would expect a range of complimentary options such as peppermint and green teas, instant coffee, and even a simple hot chocolate. It was a surprise to discover that plain black tea wasn’t stocked and had to be requested—surely the most universal option of all.||Food & beverage:|In-room dining was reasonable, and staff were consistently polite and helpful. Breakfast the next morning was extensive with plenty of variety, though I would have liked to see more of those options available via room service, especially as the dining room was quite noisy.||Overall:|Not quite the five-star experience promised, but still a comfortable, enjoyable stay with several high points. I would consider staying again, with a few small improvements likely to lift the experience even further.
