It has all the comforts one would expect of a central, top end business hotel - but a little cheaper than the bigger multi-nationals such as Radisson (which is 100 metres from the front doors of Rydges).
18 storeys, big, open lobby with plenty of space for those meetings, waiting or simply reading the papers. Rooms a decent size, with all the mod cons you would expect. It's not super trendy or boutique style. It is what it is and it does it well. A decent bar/cafe on the ground floor, although there are so many excellent cafes in the vicinity personally, I did not make use of it at all.
You can persuade, if you try hard enough, for the reception to have the windows open. Typical of Melbourne city hotels, windows cannot be opened. But I managed with a lot of persuasion.
(Stayed here a couple of nights with work recently rather than having to schlepp home).
Good deals to be gained direct from the hotel website - especially if you join their loyalty scheme.
