Grand Hyatt Melbourne

Frommer's Review

The Grand Hyatt is a glitzy, glamorous affair -- the tower is infused with 24-carat gold -- in the best part of town, a short walk from Swanston Street, Elizabeth Street, Chinatown, and public transport. Rooms are large and luxurious, and come with a nice-size marble bathroom and all the details you'd expect from a five-star establishment. The hotel's three diplomatic suites were refurbished in 2005 and feature floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the Botanic Gardens and Yarra River. The suites' bathrooms boast sunken spa tubs, a sauna, and a rain shower. Prices vary with the view, but the best values are the Grand Club rooms, for which the rate includes evening cocktails, canapés, afternoon tea, and full breakfast in the Grand Club lounge. The hotel's gymnasium and fitness center is Australia's largest hotel gym, and there's also a day spa offering the usual treatments as well as treatments to combat jet lag. Monsoon's is a popular late-night disco in the hotel.
