A star among Melbourne's inner-city fine hotels, its spectacular atrium (a popular backdrop for newlyweds) and original Venetian architecture make this 19th-century beauty the ultimate in self-indulgence. Oozing sophistication, nonchalantly conveying an easy, old-world allure and bewitching those susceptible to a serenade, Melbourne The Rialto is the place to be pampered.

Starting life in 1891 as the state's wool stores and wheat headquarters, the bluestone cobbled laneway (now the atrium) was a thoroughfare for horses carting produce to Melbourne's wharves. The pick of the rooms is the Executive King for the huge beds and sparkling bathrooms which include separate bath (room for two) and shower. (Room No 140 is a good choice.) The original part of the building has varying room sizes so ask to see a few; a room with a balcony over the central atrium is quirky and highly recommended. Kick back on the outdoor sun deck with views of the imposing Rialto tower right in front of your eyes.
