Picolo recommends · Hotel in Melbourne, Victoria
Park Hyatt Melbourne
Cathedral bells on one side, the elms of Fitzroy Gardens on the other, and a mosaic pool waiting downstairs for grey Melbourne days.
Step out of the door and you are on the paths of Fitzroy Gardens, with St Patrick's Cathedral rising next to the hotel. This corner of the city feels calmer than the grid of streets a few blocks west.
Inside, the rooms are generous and the decor leans classic rather than trendy. The indoor pool, lined with mosaic tiles, is the place to be when Melbourne serves up one of its cold, wet afternoons.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Park Hyatt Melbourne
We like Park Hyatt for travellers who want quiet nights and green space, yet still walk to the laneways and restaurants. Large rooms make it a good base for a longer stay.
The look is traditional, so those after a design hotel or a lively bar scene will find it staid. You are also on the edge of the centre, not in the middle, so nightlife means a walk or a tram.
What you get
- Indoor pool with mosaic tiles
- Large rooms
- Fitzroy Gardens on the doorstep
- Laneway cafes within walking distance
