Royce Hotel, Melbourne

I have stayed at "The Royce" in Melbourne on several occasions now, and after doing so, I can firmly recommend it as "The" place to stay. Located in the heart of Melbourne, "The Royce" is a few short minutes away from the river front cafe's, the "Crown Casino", and of course, shopping on Chapel Street. The rooms (and bathrooms) are absolutely huge for a simple deluxe, and having not yet taken advantage of one of their mezzanine rooms, I can only assume that the experience is just twice as excellent. Staff are friendly and more than willing to help out 24 hours per day, and the close proximity of Valet parking ensures that a getaway is only a few short minutes away. The only negative? It's location on St. Kilda Road is a little tricky to find, and for people unused to travelling through the heart of Melbourne may be in for a tough time. Other than that, an absolutely wonderful hotel that I love to stay in time & time again.
