Crown Towers Melbourne
FORBES TRAVEL RATING 2021 – 5-Stars
A central part of Melbourne’s Crown entertainment complex, Crown Towers Melbourne is one of three hotels and decidedly the most lavish. As you enter the heavy glass doors into the impressive lobby, your eyes are drawn to the grandiose chandelier illuminating the highly polished black granite floors and marble pillars.
The hotel's contemporary interiors are slick (think marble and bronze accents) accented with pops of color. Come evening, the sound of live jazz echoes softly throughout.
Located on the southern bank of the Yarra River in Melbourne’s central business district, the Crown complex could be a destination in itself with luxury gaming facilities, high-end boutiques, indulgent spas, and upscale restaurants and nightclubs.
Park Hyatt Melbourne
FORBES TRAVEL RATING 2021 – 4-Stars
Flanked by the lush greens of the Fitzroy Gardens, Park Hyatt Melbourne is an inner-city sanctuary on the edge of the central business district and nearby some of the city’s top sites like St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
The luxury hotel’s décor is all about quiet, contemporary luxury — hints of art deco design are found throughout, from the laser-cut marble floors, chrome accents, and polished dark wood furniture.
The two-story lobby is a stunner, with a grand curved staircase and walls of glass, a prime introduction to this sleek but inviting hotel.
Grand Hyatt Melbourne
FORBES TRAVEL RATING 2021 – Recommended
Widely regarded as Melbourne’s original luxury hotel, Grand Hyatt Melbourne has been an Australian icon for 30 years. Don’t let the hotel’s heritage fool you, though — while it’s packed with timeless charm and Old World attention to detail, the Grand Hyatt is modern in both its facilities and its design.
The hotel’s Collins Street entrance is inconspicuously tucked between designer boutiques and is flanked by hidden laneway bars, enticing you with the promise of signature cocktails and fine local produce.
The retention of the hotel’s staff speaks volumes to us about the hotel itself. A repeat visit will always include a familiar face, with seven staff members celebrating their 30th year of service on the hotel’s 30th anniversary.
The Langham, Melbourne
FORBES TRAVEL RATING 2021 – Recommended
A heartbeat away from Flinders Street Station, Melbourne’s Arts District, and a network of rightfully renowned laneways, The Langham, Melbourne claims a prime parcel along the Yarra River. Its location ensures easy access to shops, restaurants, bars, and other inner-city delights.
Decorated and furnished in the same distinctive style as other Langham hotels around the world, it melds both contemporary and classic aesthetics. The entrance lobby features elegant chandeliers and enormous vases of fresh flowers, while just outside, the hotel’s signature pink London taxi stands ready and waiting to whisk you away to the city’s center.
The pervasive presence of pink throughout the luxury hotel creates a tastefully decadent atmosphere, with accents of satin and brocade enhancing the modern décor. It’s a personalized experience: Guests are welcomed with handwritten pink notes and sweet treats.
