Ideally located on Collins Street in Melbourne's banking and legal district and within walking distance of key attractions, the newly opened hotel is one of the city's last and best remaining examples of 19th-century Gothic architecture, an irresistible combination of Australian history and European style. This 253-room, air-conditioned hotel includes a lobby, currency exchange facilities, bar, restaurant and conference facilities. Room service and laundry service are also offered.

The hotel is located just a short stroll away from some of the city's major attractions, galleries, theatres, renowned shopping areas and restaurants. The famous Rialto Towers Observation Deck is just next door, offering magnificent panoramic views over Melbourne. The city centre is around 1 km away, and Southern Cross train station is just some 900 m from the hotel. Nearby attractions include the Crown Casino, around 1.2 km away, Melbourne Aquarium, Victorian Arts Centre and National Gallery of Victoria, all within roughly 2 km of the hotel, and Parliament House, which is some 2.2 km away.

The restaurant features a combination of modern architecture and décor, delivering modern Australian dishes with an Asian and European presence. Guests can also have a drink at the on-site bars.
