Hotel Description
I remember pulling up to the Stylish 1-Bed with Pool Gym & Stunning Views in Southbank – you know, that buzzing spot right along the Yarra River, just a stone’s throw from the Crown Casino and those riverside walks that light up at night. It’s tucked away on the quieter end near City Road, which is handy because you avoid the worst of the tourist crowds spilling out from the NGV or Federation Square, but honestly, you’re still close enough to hop on a tram and be in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD in like five minutes. I mean, I arrived during peak hour – trams clanging by, that faint salty breeze off the river mixing with street food smells from the promenade – and check-in was a breeze, all self-service with a code they email you ahead of time. No fussing with a front desk, which is perfect if you’re jet-lagged from a long flight. The building itself has that modern apartment vibe, sort of sleek and unpretentious, with underground parking that’s a godsend in this part of town where spots are like gold dust, especially on weekends when everyone’s hitting the Southbank markets.
Stepping into the place, though – wow, it lives up to the name. The one-bedroom setup is super stylish, all clean lines and neutral tones with these massive floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the most insane views of the city skyline and the river bending away toward the bay. I spent my first evening just parked on the balcony (it’s got one, by the way, with comfy outdoor seating), watching the lights flicker on as dusk hit, and yeah, it’s as stunning as they say, especially around sunset when the whole scene turns golden. The bed’s king-sized and ridiculously comfy – like sinking into a cloud after a day wandering – and the kitchenette’s got everything you need, from a proper coffee machine to those little touches like fresh pods waiting for you. The pool and gym are shared but never felt crowded; I hit the gym early mornings, and it was just me and the hum of the air con, overlooking the water – talk about motivating. Oh, and the pool’s heated, which is clutch in Melbourne’s fickle weather; I dipped in during a rainy spell and it was blissfully warm, with that chlorine tang cutting through the damp air outside. Noise-wise, well, you do hear some street buzz from below, especially if trams are running late, but the double glazing keeps it muffled – nothing a white noise app couldn’t fix, and it’s way quieter than staying right in the laneways of the city center.
All in all, if you’re after a spot that feels like a home base rather than a sterile hotel room, this one’s a winner, especially for couples or solo travelers who want that mix of chill and convenience. It’s rated an 8.8 for good reason – four stars without the stuffiness – and in busy seasons like summer festivals or the Australian Open, booking ahead is key because Southbank gets packed. Sure, the Wi-Fi can glitch a bit in peak times (I had to reboot once or twice), but that’s minor compared to waking up to those views and strolling out for brekkie at one of the cafes along the promenade. I’d go back in a heartbeat – it’s the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve got Melbourne figured out, you know?

Really modern with cute furniture. Has the most beautiful wall of windows and works super well for 2 people.
Has a fridge, washing machine aircon and a great bathroom. The apartment complex it is in is also so lovely and clean.
