My partner and i stayed at this hotel in approx. September 2010 (sorry for the timing of the review but better late than never and not September 2011 like it says but there was no other option). The purpose of our trip was for the Titanic Exhibition that was on at the Melbourne Museum and despite the fact that it was no longer winter, true to Melbourne's reputation, it was cold and wet during our trip. Reception staff were polite and check in was quick. We booked a deluxe studio suite and were on the same floor as the penthouse i think. I was quite high up. The view from our room was down Chapel St and was great also. Our room was clean and comfortable. Perfect to come back to after a day of shopping, sight seeing or a night out. The bed was super comfortable. Still remember it to this day. The bathroom was modern, however the door is frosted glass and had a gap in it once it closed. Not the greatest level of privacy at times. The shower also required additional towelling placed on the floor as it would get significantly wet otherwise, not a major problem when only a short stay though. Breakfast at hotel's restaurant Bluebottle was okay, had better. Slow service though given that it was not busy during our stay. The hotel itself is in a perfect position. Close to transport, shops and restaurants. Staff were helpful with directions. Caught a taxi to and from the Casino one night also which wasn't too expensive either. Hotel pool would be great during the summer months as it is partially outdoors and given that it was pouring rain and windy during our stay, we couldn't utilise it. Gym is tiny however we were not there to exercise however this may impact on people travelling for business purposes. Would i recommend this hotel to other travellers? Yes. Personally, i don't know if i would stay here again though only for the simple fact that i like to try out different hotels when i travel. I would have no problem in booking another hotel from the Art Series Hotels group though for a change.
