The Prince hotel doesn’t try hard to be cool, it just is. As soon as you walk into the raspberry-hued lobby you’re engulfed by an aura of understated luxury. Rooms are contemporary, white and minimalistic with the somewhat obligatory Starck-designed bathrooms kitted out with Aesop goodies.

Each is beautifully decorated with oil paintings and etchings, smooth ceramics, cray lamps, stained wooden fittings and lust-worthy designer furniture. Most rooms are located around a peaceful inner courtyard, though the posher suites have balconies overlooking achingly hip Fitzroy Street.

A rooftop spa, underground vodka bar and award-winning restaurant all add up to create one of Melbourne’s most fashionable hotels.  Staff are warm and friendly and prove there’s substance behind all the style.
