on June 9, 2004Now this is a luxury hotel. From the moment you enter the premises, and experience the elegance of the grand staircase and its crystal chandelier, the classy and sophisticated surroundings and its attendant staff will captivate you. For Starwood Preferred Guests there are even up-scale procedures to get checked in and oriented to the hotel.
Connected to a shopping mall and dining entertainment area, the Sheraton Towers provides a very convenient and elegant location from which to stage ones activities when staying in Melbourne. I was particularly impressed by the riverside location and the colorful and tasteful lighting used at night to distinctively illuminate the buildings on both sides of the Yarra River. It was truly a beautiful and peaceful setting. And right behind the hotel is one of the footbridges crossing the Yarra River for those wishing to walk into the central business district.
The piano bar provides a very comfortable seating area for casual socialization or for informal, small business meetings. Adjacent to it is a very nice dining room.
My room was exceptionally well appointed. The bed was big and comfortable (although I wish hotels still used sheets and blankets instead of the single multi-layered quilt) and very easy to sleep on. The bathroom featured a garden shower that was an exquisite treat at the end of a long day or the beginning of a new one.
When I return to Melbourne on my next trip, I will look forward to staying in this remarkably comfortable and appealing hotel.
A great location, good restaurants and a wonderful promenade along the river's edge.
