Fantastic restoration of a grand property in a wonderful location, close to business district, Exhib Centre, SouthBank & Docklands. Delightful rooms and wonderful restaurant. Delightful to see a functional herb garden up top near the pool, and honey produced on-site with multiple bee hives! How sustainable is that! Highly recommended - and treat yourself to a Club room.

Nice room, with livingroom, and nice bathroom, It was configured a little different due to the shape of the turrets. The staff was incredible, the service impeccable and everyone was very friendy. The location was great for being downtown. Easy to use GPS in... More

Lovely hotel - perfect for romance. Historic, ambient hotel with an intimate bar and great buffet breakfast. Knowledgable and helpful concierge. Room service steak sandwhich is tops. A little bit of a walk (5 mins) to the Bourke St mall (mainly for shopping). Don't miss a trip to Haigh's (chocolates) on the ground floor of the hotel. Cheap weekend rates. More

We stayed here for four nights on the Club Floor and enjoyed the experience very much. The Club food was good and the lounge well appointed. Breakfast was very good and worth the extra costs of upgrading to Club status. We like the position of the hotel as we could walk to everything in town easily. The room was huge... More

The hotel is in a lovely old building with a lot of charm. We found that many cab drivers knew it as the Rialto rather than the Intercontinental. It is on Collins, but several blocks down from the main shopping and dining section, so it is a quieter location. The rooms were not large, but were very comfortable, although lacking... More
