The Ritz-Carlton, Melbourne

Staying at The Ritz-Carlton, Melbourne was an absolute highlight of my trip. The entrance isn’t on Spencer Street—instead, you enter from Lonsdale or Little Lonsdale Streets and take the elevator straight up to the 80th-floor lobby. From the moment you step in, the concierge greets you warmly every time you come and go—it’s such a thoughtful touch. Breakfast, afternoon tea, and dinner are all served on the top floor, offering breathtaking views over the Yarra River and Docklands. The panoramic rooms deliver stunning sunrises and sunsets, even if the glass has a slight tint and the viewing angles are somewhat limited—still, the vista is unforgettable. My room was on floors 60–79, quiet and luxurious with excellent privacy. Breakfast features a small but fresh selection of fruits, bread, and yogurt, while drinks and main dishes are à la carte—though the quality more than makes up for the variety. I especially loved the hand-poured coffee. All bath amenities are Diptyque—luxurious and fragrant—and the bathtub is deep and relaxing. After exploring the city, returning to my room, having a light snack, and soaking in the tub was the perfect way to unwind. It’s not just a stay—it’s an experience, and the value is truly exceptional.
