Located in the heart of the Victorian capital, the property impresses with panoramic city views at every turn.
A spate of new hotels have opened in Melbourne in a matter of weeks - from Le Meridian in the CBD and Adina Pentridge in Coburg to the Motley in Richmond.
But the launch of the season has to be the arrival of the 80-storey-high Ritz-Carlton. Located in the heart of the Victorian capital, the property impresses with panoramic city views at every turn - whether you're in the hotel's top-floor lobby with soaring ceilings, at the spa with an infinity pool on level 64, or in one of the 257 rooms with a pared back colour palette of neutrals and gold accents.
At 46 square metres, even the smallest rooms are fairly spacious, with marble ensuites and furniture clad in leather and velvet.
But if you want to turn up the indulgence factor, book a room that gives you access to the hotel's club lounge, with a bevy of complimentary culinary offerings all day long - from breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea during the day to cocktails and hors d'oeuvres in the evening.
