Once a neglected industrial area, Southbank has been transformed into a vibrant cultural hub with bohemian flair. A cascade of cafes and galleries stretches along the southern bank of the Yarra, centring on the Southgate Arts and Leisure Complex which houses the Arts Centre and a concert hall. On Sunday mornings local artists hawk their wares at the riverbank market, and every night of the week the streets come alive with a merry throng of theatre-goers, chattering diners and wacky sidewalk entertainers.

Reviews
 

You cannot miss this hotel - it being right next door to the Eureka Skydeck, the tallest building in Melbourne. The hotel is also close to the Langham Hotel which means there is never a shortage of taxis available. Our room was clean, tidy, quiet and had good storage. The bathroom was a good size and the air conditioning worked effectively. As well as the normal facilities the room also had a small kitchenette equipped with a sink, crockery and cutlery, a small fridge and a microwave oven…If we stayed in Melbourne again this hotel would be our first choice
