“Hotel Grand Chancellor Melbourne has a prime position in the theatre district and versatile meeting spaces, although some aspects require updating. The rooftop pool and central location near Chinatown are definite advantages; however, maintenance should be considered. It's a practical choice, particularly for large events, if location trumps luxury.”
