Great property, good location, service was impecable, the ground floor bar was well hidden away, and amazing experience when we entered in. Will definitely be staying there again when we return to melbourne.

Excellent quirky styling, great service, great location
Had a fabulous stay at the W hotel in Melbourne. Would definitely stay there again. Great location, hotel facilities and our experience with the staff was wonderful.
We spent our 10-year anniversary at this hotel in Melb and it was truly memorable. The hotel went above and beyond to help us celebrate, surprising us with champagne in our room.
The room itself was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. We were also impressed that the staff took the time to walk you through the room. The warm service made our stay extra special. Food ordered through room service is also warm and tasty. Highly recommend this hotel for both family stays and special occasions!
