- Zagame's House is a hip design-led hotel on Lygon Street, on the edge of Melbourne's Little Italy. Think swish, moody guest rooms with a grown-up grey & white palette and blue velvet in the communal areas. Kick off the day with cracking brunches, and cosy up in the wine bar each evening. Very glamorous.
- The Royce, housed in what was once Melbourne's first luxury automobile showroom, is also seriously cool. Rooms are modern and understated, but shared spaces with sleek marble & chrome accents ooze 1920s style. The cocktail bar has to be one of the top design spots in the city.
- Adelphi Hotel Melbourne is a zany, art-filled gem with playful zigzag carpets and bright pops of pink. Brilliantly located on Flinders Lane, the hotel also has a popular eatery, cocktail bar and cantilevered rooftop pool. Fresh and fun.
- The Lyall Hotel's elegant rooms & suites are wonderfully soothing and indulgent, with marble bathrooms, white, grey and burnt orange interiors, and big windows inviting lots of light. There's a serene spa, too. One for fans of sophisticated contemporary-classic design.
