"Classic older style upmarket Hotel.
If you want to feel the essence of Melbournes rich and elegant past then this is the Hotel for you. It may not have the best high floor type views in town but you will be staying in a Hotel frequented by the likes of Gregory Peck, Katharine Hepburn, Omar Sharif, Richard Branson, Mohamed Ali, Lauren Bacall, HRH Prince’s and Princesses, Prime Ministers etc -and it shows in the classic quite large older style rooms with floor to ceiling sweeping drapes in the rooms and with beautiful public areas to add a nice touch. It’s generally well appointed with all the extras you would expect from a upmarket Hotel.
Great for a couple of nights or so if you want a classic older style retreat in the Paris style end of town near Parliament."
