Located in the heart of Melbourne, Wyndham on William offers stylish accommodation within 10 minutes' walk of Melbourne's vibrant cafes, restaurants and bars. It features a rooftop heated pool, a fitness centre and a library.

I chose this hotel according to the google map because I've never come to this city, and it turned out to be very convenient especially with the tram system here. Also I have joined a day tour which ended also midnight, and I didn't feel unsafe to walk back from drop-off point back to the hotel. The room size is what I'm looking for and it met my expectation. The king size bed is very good for one person.

    An excellent job of honouring the history of the building through the features and interior design in the lobby and the rooms, with a modern influence in line with today's comfort and luxury standards. I was travelling for work and even felt compelled to work in the lobby given how nice the experience was. I stayed in another "4.5 star" hotel the night before and it didn't get close to the Savoy on any level (including price) - It really makes me wonder how the star rating system works as the Savoy is leagues ahead.

    Alto is such a friendly little boutique hotel in the city. It has authentic designer pieces, the friendliest staff who make you feel like you're staying at a friend's house and sparkling water on tap (ask for a bottle to fill up to take to your room). It's not perfect (the best homes aren't), but it's a lovely bolthole in an awesome section of the city. Plus, the facade is so gorgeous, and the breakfast is great (chef in the mornings).
