15 Best Hotels in Melbourne | Condé Nast Traveler

"This grande dame is located riverside in the Southbank precinct, just a few minutes' walk from the city center. Visitors are drawn in by its old-fashioned opulence, which channels the great hotels of London and New York . The Yarra River and Melbourne skyline views are impressive, especially from rooms with terraces or balconies, and even The Langham's most modest guest rooms feature marble bathrooms with generous tubs. The Chuan Spa is best known for its traditional Chinese massages, but the facials, scrubs and wraps—some of which use marine algae from Thalgo—are top notch, too." - Dan F. Stapleton
