First trip to Melbourne and had no clue... so I simply looked for what was highly rated on TA at the time. After looking at reviews and going directly to the hotel's website I knew The Blackman was the place for me. I was right. It is a very cool place to stay. The artwork thruout the hotel speaks for itself and the bio on Blackman was most fascinating. Studio Suite was larger than I expected, immaculate and architecturally interesting. Downstairs is a great bakery with terrific selections that we started our day with each morning. I am a coffee guy and was impressed with the brew. Staff thruout the property jumped to attention and asked if they could be of help anytime they saw me looking thoughtful. Location is perfect, with the Tram just a few steps away. Downtown is one direction and is actually within 20 minute walking distance if you want to get your exercise... and St. Kilda Beach is the other direction. Could not have been happier at The Blackman. Will return for sure.
