This is a relatively new hotel on St Kilda Rd. Excellent facilities, service and amenities. If staying on the weekend, the parking in the surrounding streets are free as metered parking is Mon-Fri only. The hotel features artwork from Charles Blackburn. The room I stayed in had views of Albert Park Lake as well as the ocean. Will definitely stay here again. The room had microwave facilities, fridge, sink, large LCD TV with many Foxtel channels as well as free to air HD channels. Check various travel websites for the best available rate. Late checkout was 1pm and the room had a gift of a small canvas and paint set - nice touch.
