The Prince
Melbourne
A renovated hotel in St Kilda with bright rooms a short walk from the beach.
Melbourne is a city of laneways, street art and serious coffee, and its small hotels fit the mood. Several sit inside grand old banks and warehouses in the CBD, others are in the leafy streets of South Yarra, or along the seaside promenade of St Kilda, where a hotel in a former Victorian pub looks over Port Phillip Bay.
Where to stay
The CBD is the easiest base for the laneways and the trams; South Yarra and the Botanic Gardens suit those who want a calmer, more residential stay; St Kilda is the pick for the beach and its Sunday market.
Good to know
Melbourne's weather can deliver four seasons in a day, so pack layers. March, with its festivals and mild days, and the spring racing season in November are popular times to visit.
