History: Edwardian Baroque building from 1913, once the tallest in Victoria

“Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne occupies a prime spot, convenient to Flinders Street Station and the city's cultural heart; its Edwardian Baroque architecture offers a unique counterpoint to modern Melbourne. While some find areas needing polish, the hotel's heritage and location make it a distinctive, if imperfect, choice. I believe the hotel certainly has potential, offering a central base with character.”

charming stay!

convenient location tall ceilings coffee machine big shower
i adored the location, it's just convenient. the edwardian room was fabulous with its tall ceilings and big windows. i also appreciated the coffee machine. the shower had wonderful pressure and it was a big shower, too.
the reception staff did not always have a complete understanding of all inquiries. this made getting some specific information slightly challenging, although it was eventually resolved.
