Hotels
Hannah St Hotel, Southbank
Southbank is on its way to reaching its full potential and Hannah St Hotel is in the driving seat. Designed by the acclaimed Flack Studio, its guest rooms afford sweeping panoramas of the skyline. Its F&B offering by hospitality impresario Nathan Toleman is well worth seeking out too.
Hyde Melbourne Place, CBD
Despite being a member of the Accor family, the Hyde Melbourne Place, in the heart of the CBD, has a boutique feel. This comes courtesy of its warm service and sleek design by local firm Kennedy Nolan, which features dark wood furniture and plush furnishings. Don’t miss the in-house Iberian restaurant, Marmelo.
The StandardX, Fitzroy
Fitzroy has long been one of Melbourne’s coolest enclaves but has previously been bereft of compelling accommodation. This branch of The StandardX, which opened in 2024, redresses that imbalance in style with neutral interiors, a host of drinking and dining options and a vibrant events programme. An excellent option for those looking to base themselves in the city’s inner north.
