Fountain Terrace

Frommer's Review

Built in 1880, Fountain Terrace has been lovingly restored to its former glory by Penny and Heikki Minkkinen. This boutique guesthouse has real character and is a wonderful alternative to traditional city hotels. It's on a tree-lined street just a few minutes' walk from the sea and to the many restaurants on Fitzroy and Acland streets. It's very classy inside with comfortable communal areas, including a sunny drawing room where breakfast is served at an antique refectory table. The rooms, which are named after famous Australian writers, artists, and pioneers, have all those classic old-fashioned hallmarks of a historic house, including nice prints on the walls and old fireplaces. Each one is a real individual, so it's well worth while checking out the pictures on their website. Guests also have free access to the St. Kilda Baths and gymnasium, a 5-minute walk away.
