“This hotel strikes me as supremely practical, situated right on the Yarra River in Melbourne's CBD, and near everything that matters. The suites, complete with kitchens and laundry, really do feel like self-contained apartments, ideal whether you're in town for business or bringing the family. I particularly like the idea of unwinding at the refurbished pool after a day exploring the city.”
