We recently stayed at The Royce which has had an amazing refurbishment. This boutique hotel offers a far superior experience compared with chain hotels. All staff we spoke with were immaculately presented and offered genuine, warm service. Everyone had a big smile on their face and were passionate about what they do. The room was beautiful and large with a great terrace that had views of the Botanic Garden’s, The Shrine & the CBD. Beautifully presented and meticulously clean. The rooms have a perfect mix of technology, without overdoing it. All the basics have been thought through. From the writing desk to the luggage storage & wardrobe, it is clear that a lot of thought has gone into the design & functionality. We loved the different spaces in the hotel and The Conservatory where breakfast is served was our absolute favourite. Such a great spot for a morning coffee and a bite to eat. We used the valet parking which was quick & convenient and at a reasonable cost. The tram being on the door step was so handy for quick shopping trips into the city. Thank you Royce Team for a great couple of nights.…

Hotel's Favourite
I've had the absolute pleasure of returning to one of my favourite hotels after a lengthy closure for renovations. It was most definitely worth the wait. I loved this hotel prior to the renovation, but it has now been transformed into the most incredible luxurious & glamorous looking hotel in Melbourne. Unfortunately I didn't have much time to experience the shiny new facilities. I really feel you could stay here and not have to leave. The restaurants and bar are stunning spaces and I can't wait to come back and try them. Rooms are luxurious and well appointed. The beds are the most comfortable I've ever slept in. Staff go above and beyond to make every guest comfortable. For those who have stayed pre renovation the valet parking is now via St Kilda Road and not the side street. I always loved this hotel because it felt like a well kept secret that nobody else was aware of. Something tells me that's all about to change. …

Response from Nick McLennan, General Manager at The Royce
Responded 21 Apr 2023
Dear purc77, Thank you for choosing to stay with us at The Royce as one of our first guests upon reopening following our refurbishment over the past two years. We are indeed (not biased at all) the most lucurious boutique hotel in Melbourne, if not Australia. The pleasure was of course all ours and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon. With my kindest regards, Nick Nick McLennan General Manager

My husband and I stayed here for 1 night after finishing the Around the Bay bike ride. I picked this hotel because it was a short walk from the park where the ride ended and it looked nice on the website. It’s actually very nice and very modern and the front desk staff gave us a big welcome (in our bike gear). It’s in a residential area with a tram right in front for getting around. There is currently construction on the tramway which made traffic out front difficult and hard for our Uber pickups to get to. We preferred staying in the CBD for location but our room in this hotel was very nice and very comfortable and we had a lovely private patio but no view to speak of. Rather than eating in the hotel modern restaurant we took an Uber to a pub in Port Melbourne and had a fun casual dinner. Back at the hotel we went to the ultra modern bar for drinks and had great service but the place was empty. The staff are trying really hard and I hope that the place becomes known. If you have a reason to stay in this area then I would definitely recommend this hotel.…

Gorgeous renovations made to this beautiful unique property, staff were all lovely and the bar where we had a drink was impressive. However, given the road works underway out the front of the property, the small size of our king balcony room (there is minimal view due to the design of the balcony wall) and the very underwhelming bathroom, shower had issues with a weak water shower head and the water was either too hot or luke warm. I felt $409 per night plus $70 for car parking is not worth it. We travel a lot and stay in many properties each month, this is very overpriced for what it is. Especially given you need to tram or drive to anywhere for dinner/lunch.

A lovely hotel, with a boutique 1920s escape feel. Bar/dining area was classy and elegant and the breakfast restaurant felt wonderful in the morning with orange, blue and bird decor. Lovely renovation and a real escape from reality. Amazingly comfortable beds and lovely food too. Plus great staff.

What a glorious stay, from the spacious suite overlooking Melbourne grammar and the city skyline, the highly considered interiors to the attentive genuine staff, this hotel was hard to fault. The showroom bar was an easy highlight, the head chef was incredible and catered to our (tricky) dietaries, his impressive touch to come to our table to chat with us was an admirable level of detail and the food was 5 star. The blonde manager who looked after our table was an absolute delight and the bar staff who organised our cocktails were world class. We would highly recommend (and we have) to all of our friends and family, and look forward to our next stay, thank you again for looking after us!

Excellent location, straight on the tram and into the city. Staff were very friendly, and the place was lovely and clean. We borrowed the bikes and went for a ride, such a great idea to have them. Could not recommend this hotel enough, we will be back.

We stayed at the Royce as we were going to see Wynton Marsalis at Hamer Hall so it was convenient to catch the tram outside the hotel. The hotel is situated further down St Kilda Rd behind the Shrine but it's only a short walk to Domain Rd cafes and restaurants. There are still some ongoing tram work going on outside the hotel but no real hassle driving into the hotel from St Kilda Rd for valet parking ($70). The Royce hotel has been refurbished with art deco touches and lots of mirrored and shiny surfaces throughout the hotel. Our room was comfortable if a bit on the small side with a balcony and view of the grammar school and city. The only let down is the food, we ate before the gig and the pommes frites were cold which I sent back and the next serving was only a slight improvement. The waiter did take the cost of the chips off the bill which was a good gesture. Next morning at breakfast service was friendly and cheerful but the scrambled eggs were just ok and the toast was stale or overcooked. It's a nice hotel with great staff but the food is a let down so not sure I'd stay there again as it's a fairly expensive hotel.…
