The Royce, Melbourne Hotels
Opulent hotel with Art Deco-inspired rooms, private balconies, a rooftop bar and eatery, and a cozy fireside lounge
### Overview
The Royce Hotel stands as a beacon of luxury along Melbourne’s distinguished St Kilda Road, a location that has served as a vital city center for several decades. Occupying a building steeped in history, the hotel’s structure once housed Melbourne’s premier luxury car showroom, a significant landmark during a period defined by extravagance and allure. This rich heritage is carefully woven into the hotel’s very design, which consciously evokes the grandeur, the indulgent spirit, and the unwavering commitment to quality that characterized that celebrated era. While The Royce enjoys a slightly more secluded location, removed from the immediate hustle of the central downtown area, it benefits greatly from its proximity to a conveniently located tram station just across the street. This allows guests effortless access to cultural landmarks like the National Gallery Victoria, a mere ten-minute tram ride away. Alternatively, a leisurely stroll through the picturesque Royal Botanic Gardens will lead you there in just over twenty minutes, offering a scenic route for art enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Furthermore, the bustling Central Business District, with its diverse array of shops, tempting eateries, and captivating attractions, is easily accessible, being approximately fifteen minutes away via tram.
The guest rooms at the Royce Hotel masterfully achieve a harmonious blend of classic elegance and contemporary style. The King Rooms, for example, are meticulously appointed with subtle textures that catch the eye, luxurious fabrics that invite relaxation, Art Deco-inspired black glass paneling that adds a touch of vintage glamour, and impeccably designed monotone bathrooms. For those desiring an elevated experience, the King Balcony Rooms offer the same generous space and luxurious amenities, enhanced by the addition of a private balcony, perfect for enjoying the Melbourne cityscape. The Deluxe and Terrace Rooms, along with the various suites—culminating in the unparalleled opulence of the top-tiered, two-story Royce Suite—present escalating degrees of indulgence, ranging from lavish bathtubs designed for ultimate relaxation to expansive private terraces and breathtaking floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the rooms with natural light.
Beyond its luxurious accommodations, The Royce is also renowned for its vibrant nightlife offerings, consistently drawing both locals and travelers from other hotels. The Terrace, gracefully adorned with lush greenery and featuring a captivating open roof, creates the ideal ambiance for a leisurely breakfast in the morning sun or a sophisticated sunset drink as the day transitions into evening. The Showroom Bar, distinguished by its soaring vaulted ceiling and inviting crackling open fire, exudes the sophisticated atmosphere of a cool, exclusive private club – a perfect venue for enjoying predinner cocktails and unwinding with late-night drinks. Furthermore, the hotel lobby provides an inviting space to relax and socialize, with its stylish and contemporary design, a generously sized bar serving expertly crafted beverages, and an array of cozy seating arrangements that encourage guests to linger and enjoy the ambiance.

When is the best time to visit?
There's no bad time to visit Australia, though there are a few tips to keep in mind. Much of Australia runs hot, especially in the north—places like Uluru, Darwin, and Cairns are best visited in the Southern Hemisphere winter (June, July, August). The opposite applies for southern regions like Tasmania and Victoria, which can get particularly cold in winter—January and February are the most pleasant times to visit.
Interested in the Great Barrier Reef? You'll have warm temps all year, though spring and summer bring stifling temps and lots of warm tropical rain. The famous Gold Coast is the country's Goldilocks region, with lovely weather throughout the year it's known for having beautiful weather most of the year. And given Sydney's southern latitude, glittering beaches are best visited in the warm summer months.
Where should you go?
Ask an Australian, and they'll tell you that picking a favorite place in their vast homeland feels as impossible as choosing a favorite child. That said, travelers can't go wrong with Uluru (the stunning sandstone monolith in the Northern Territory), Cairns and the renowned Great Barrier Reef, and the famous sights of metropolitan Sydney. Head to the Gold Coast for beach time, Melbourne for culture, Kangaroo Island for wildlife, and Broome to visit the fascinating Horizontal Falls, a series of tidal waterfalls in Talbot Bay considered a natural wonder.
How many days do I need?
Since reaching this part of the world requires long flights across multiple time zones for most travelers, it's best to make the most of your journey with at least one week in-country. The more time you can give it, the more relaxed and satisfying the trip will be. A great 10-day itinerary might start with three days in Sydney before heading to Uluru, Darwin and Kakadu National Park, and Cairns for a few days each.
Have two weeks at your disposal? Even better. Consider flying into Melbourne, spending two days on Kangaroo Island, taking the Ghan Train from Adelaide to Alice Springs, and finishing with two nights each in Uluru, Darwin, and Cairns.
If you're combining Australia with another nearby destination like New Zealand or Indonesia, a 5-7 day trip is doable—you'll probably want to stick to exploring one city and taking a couple of day trips from there.
