    Great location in the CBD, fantastic access to shops and main streets of melbourne city.
    Very helpful staff, we especially want to thank Bobby and his brother at the concierge for their help.
    We paid for the club access – the afternoon tea and evening canopes/drinks were just enough food to keep us full! It was also the perfect setting and comfort to watch the Men’s tennis final of the AO.
