Located a mere 1.3 km from the King's Domain, the 5-star boutique The Royce Hotel Melbourne offers air-conditioned rooms nearly a 15-minute walk from the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria. Nestled in proximity to Fawkner Public Park, the chic hotel features 2 restaurants serving British, European, and local cuisine.

Location

This hotel has a central location 2.2 km from the Lively South Melbourne Indoor Market, while shopping venues like Prahran Food Market are 2.1 km away. The St Kilda Road district of Melbourne, where the unique Royce sits, grants access to cultural attractions like the restored iron-hulled tall Polly Woodside Ship, which is about 25 minutes' walk away.

Visit MacRobertsonFountain, 650 metres from the property, and feel complete harmony with the nature of Australia. Families travelling to Melbourne will enjoy being within 30 minutes' walk of the interactive multilevel SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium.

The Royce Melbourne is also fairly close to Arthur Street/St Kilda Road bus stop.

Rooms

There are 100 rooms at this Melbourne hotel, each of them has an air conditioner, as well as entertainment amenities such as an iPod dock and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. They are appointed with a writing table, and also feature a mini fridge bar, tea and coffee making equipment. Guests will find shower caps and bath sheets in the bathrooms fitted with a walk-in shower and a separate toilet. Enjoy views of the courtyard, while staying at the Royce.

Eat & Drink

A variety of local dishes are available at the à la carte restaurant, which has city views. There is also a lounge bar. In this chic bar, guests can relax with iconic cocktails. @Rice is only a few steps from The Royce Hotel and specialises in Asian cuisine.

Leisure & Business

The on-site entertainment comprises a ballroom. Keeping fit at this accommodation is convenient thanks to a fitness suite that offers fitness classes. Finally, the hotel houses meeting rooms featuring conference equipment and a photocopier.

“Its location near the Botanical Gardens and some inviting cafes immediately appealed, while the art deco building, with its sweeping staircase and luxurious fittings, is simply superb; plus, the staff's attention to detail, even arranging a bottle of champagne for an anniversary, stood out. Between the Conservatory's lavish breakfasts and the classic cocktails served under vaulted ceilings, it strikes a rare balance of indulgence and effortless charm. In my opinion, this hotel provides a deeply comfortable and stylish Melbourne experience.”
