Frommer's Review

Winner of many awards, The Como deservedly basks in its reputation for excellent service and terrific accommodations, which include studio rooms (some with shower only), open-plan suites (all with spa tubs, some with private offices and/or wet bars), one- or two-bedroom suites (all with kitchen, some with an office), and luxurious penthouse and executive suites (split-level, with oversize spa tubs). Most rooms are at least 40 sq. m (431 sq. ft.), and the bathrooms have a bath menu (and a rubber duck for you to take home). Some suites have a private Japanese garden, and the Como Suite has a grand piano. The hotel is right in the heart of South Yarra, Melbourne's renowned restaurant, shopping, and cafe district and is popular with the fashion and entertainment set. It is also adept at accommodating business travelers: All rooms have video-conferencing capability, and a complimentary limousine service carries you to the city center each weekday morning. The health club is painted in vibrant energizing colors and the pool has a wonderful retractable roof.

Facilities: Restaurant; bar; indoor pool; health club; Jacuzzi; sauna; bike rental; game room; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; business center; salon; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; currency exchange
