This time in Melbourne, I experienced two very different stays: The Royce and United Places Botanic Gardens.
The Royce is set inside a historic building on St Kilda Road, once used as a luxury automobile showroom for Rolls-Royce and Bentley. Today, that heritage continues through its Art Deco interiors, curved architectural details, dark timber, brass, leather, and soft lighting.
The rooms and suites feel spacious and carefully composed, with elegant living areas, layered textures, and a strong sense of privacy. Every detail connects naturally with the building’s automotive past, while still feeling comfortable and contemporary.
At Showroom Bar, I enjoyed fresh oysters and a selection of small plates in a setting inspired by the building’s original showroom. Breakfast at The Terrace was calm and bright, surrounded by natural light and the leafy streets of Melbourne.
Nearby, United Places Botanic Gardens offers a completely different atmosphere. With only twelve suites facing the Royal Botanic Gardens, it feels private, residential, and closely connected to Australian design and local life.
Together, these two hotels reveal different sides of Melbourne — its history, architecture, creativity, and refined way of living.
