InterContinental Melbourne The Rialto

1 / 10

The takeaway

A heritage-listed Collins Street address gives city explorers a historic architectural setting, with Melbourne’s dining, shopping and laneways close at hand.

About the hotel

On Collins Street in central Melbourne, this 253-room hotel occupies the historic Rialto and Winfield buildings, once associated with the city’s wool and wheat trade. Their heritage architecture frames a ten-storey, glass-topped atrium, while guest rooms and suites bring contemporary comforts into the old commercial complex. The setting is firmly urban: shops, laneways, dining and the Yarra River are close by, making the hotel a base for exploring the central city as much as a place to retreat indoors.

Choose it if

You want a stay in a heritage-listed complex whose preserved architecture and glass-topped atrium are part of the experience.
You want Collins Street as a base for nearby CBD dining, shopping, laneways and tram connections.

Skip it if

You want a beach, countryside or out-of-centre setting; this is a Collins Street CBD hotel.
You need to bring a pet; IHG states that pets are not allowed.

The Calile Hotel

Fortitude Valley, Australia

City175 roomsPool

The Calile puts an urban-resort idea into Brisbane’s James Street district: a 175-room hotel integrated with a busy inner-city streetscape. Richards and Spence’s design uses white brick, arches, planted open-air corridors and balconies to make the subtropical climate part of the experience. A 28-metre pool is the hotel’s central outdoor feature, while the adjoining laneways and surrounding shops and restaurants keep the stay connected to the neighbourhood rather than set apart from it.

COMO The Treasury

Perth, Australia

City48 roomsHistoric

COMO The Treasury occupies part of Perth’s 19th-century State Buildings, a former government complex reworked as a 48-room hotel. Its scale is intimate by city-hotel standards, and its defining experience is the contrast between preserved Victorian-era architecture and quiet, contemporary guest rooms fashioned from former offices. The hotel sits within Cathedral Square, a civic precinct of historic landmarks, restaurants and public spaces, with the wider city centre close at hand.

The Fullerton Hotel Sydney

Sydney, Australia

City416 roomsHistoric

At Martin Place in Sydney’s CBD, The Fullerton occupies the former General Post Office, a landmark built in the Victorian Italian Renaissance style and faced largely in local sandstone. Its 416 rooms and suites span two distinct settings: classically inspired accommodation within the heritage building and contemporary rooms in the adjoining high-rise tower. The city-center address places the hotel amid Sydney’s financial and fashion district, while the restored GPO architecture gives this large hotel a character that extends beyond its tower rooms.
