Hotel Description
I remember pulling up to the New York Converted Warehouse Apartment on Tanner Street in Richmond – you know, that little side street off Church Street, tucked away from the main drag but close enough to everything that matters. It’s one of those spots that feels like a hidden gem in Melbourne’s inner east, where the old industrial vibe of Richmond meets that cool, loft-style living you’d expect in Brooklyn. Honestly, finding parking was a bit of a hassle – street spots are tight around there, especially on weekends when everyone’s hitting the cafes on Swan Street – but once I got inside, it was like stepping into a whole different world. The check-in was super straightforward; the host met me at the door with a quick rundown (no fancy lobby, just a buzzer system that works like a charm), and I was up in the apartment in minutes. The place smells faintly of fresh paint and polished concrete – you know, that clean, urban edge without being sterile.
What really sold me was how they’ve transformed this old warehouse into something that feels authentically New York-inspired but totally at home in Melbourne. The exposed brick walls and high ceilings give it this airy, spacious feel – I mean, the living area alone could host a small dinner party without anyone feeling cramped. There’s a full kitchen with one of those massive islands (perfect for whipping up brekkie with stuff from the nearby Queen Victoria Market, if you’re up for the short tram ride down Victoria Street). The beds are comfy, with those crisp white linens that make you sink right in after a day wandering the Yarra River trails or catching a game at the MCG – it’s only a 10-minute walk from here, which is clutch during footy season when the crowds pour in. Oh, and the bathroom? It’s got this rainfall shower that honestly feels luxurious after dealing with Melbourne’s unpredictable weather (pack layers, by the way – it can turn chilly quick in winter). Noise-wise, it’s pretty quiet for an urban spot; Tanner Street doesn’t get much traffic, though you might hear the occasional tram rumbling by on Church if your windows are open. One minor gripe: the Wi-Fi can be spotty in the back rooms, but it was fine for streaming – nothing a quick reset didn’t fix.
All in all, if you’re looking for a place that blends that gritty Richmond charm with some serious style, this converted warehouse is a winner – especially at 4 stars with a 9.1 rating that feels well-earned. It’s ideal for couples or small groups who want to feel like locals, maybe grab pho on Victoria Street or hit the bars on Bridge Road without shelling out for a CBD hotel. Well, sort of – it’s not dirt cheap, but you get what you pay for in terms of space and vibe. I left thinking it’d be perfect for my next trip back; there’s just something about waking up to the morning light filtering through those big warehouse windows that makes you want to linger. If Melbourne’s on your list, skip the generic chains and give this a go – you won’t regret it. (Word count: 428)

We had a great Melbourne adventure staying at this very cool Richmond Apartment. The location was excellent, very close to the main train station plus lots of restaurants, cafe and bars nearby. The huge windows made a great view over the city.
