Frommer's Review

It may be worth staying in this designer boutique hotel, a minute's walk from the city center, just for the experience of taking a dip in its top-floor 25m (82-ft.) lap pool, which juts out from the end of the building and overhangs the streets below. The pool has a glass bottom, so you can watch pedestrians below as you float. The rooms are similarly modern, with colorful leather seating and lots of burnished metal. Deluxe rooms differ from the Premier rooms in that they come with a bathtub. Executive suites have a separate lounge. There is high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity in all public areas, as well as Internet access in all rooms. Within the hotel is Ezard, a well-regarded restaurant offering contemporary Australian fare, and Adelphish, which claims to offer the best breakfasts in Melbourne.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; cafe/bar; heated outdoor pool; exercise room; sauna; bike rental; concierge; tour desk; business center; babysitting; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
