"Overlooking the heart of Melbourne, this central city hotel is recommended for the Australian Open thanks to its combination of a prime location and river views, making it an appealing base for pairing world‑class tennis with easy access to the city’s energy." - Jessica Chapel
"With its imposing marble staircase, opulent crystal chandeliers, and massive floral displays—there’s a weekly changing centerpiece, plus two-dozen pink roses, standard at every Langham property—the lobby here was designed to impress. Situated on the Southbank Promenade, the 388-room property exudes over-the-top elegance, with plush furnishings in muted tones and unexpectedly luxe accents, including highball, wine, and champagne glasses in every room for your own private cocktail hour. For those with weak tolerances, afternoon tea is a safe bet thanks to stately desserts served on Wedgwood china and helpful tea sommeliers. Those with more diverse tastes might prefer sampling from Melba restaurant’s six “cooking theaters,” ranging from an Asian wok and clay pot station to a Tandoori oven and spice kitchen—a reflection of Melbourne’s cultural diversity. Don’t miss the Chuan Spa’s indoor saltwater pool, which offers unbeatable views of Flinders Street Station, Federation Square, and the Yarra River and, in warmer months, opens out onto an outdoor deck."
"Traditional and timeless, this riverside hotel in the Southbank precinct delivers a classic luxury experience praised for attentive staff and a strong sense of familiarity among returning guests. It sits a few minutes' walk from the city center, close to theaters, major shopping districts and riverside strolls along the Yarra. All 388 rooms are spacious with marble bathrooms and deep soaking tubs, and some accommodations offer private terraces or balconies, emphasizing comfort and refined, conventional elegance." - Chloe Sachdev Chloe Sachdev Chloe Sachdev is a London-based lifestyle and travel journalist.
