With just 34 rooms, this hotel may be small but it delivers big in ambience and location. Steps away from the nearest tram and a short walk from the National Gallery of Victoria, the newly renovated Adelphi Hotel is also going green. Energy-efficient lighting is used throughout the hotel as well as locally-sourced luxury toiletries, so guests can feel even better about staying at this contemporary and chic hotel in the heart of Melbourne.

The Adelphi also offers a rooftop pool deck - the perfect spot to watch the sun rise among Melbourne’s building tops. The pool features a glass bottom and juts out nearly seven feet from the building’s periphery; giving swimmers the unique experience of being able to look down a startling nine stories while they freestyle.

Have a sweet tooth? You have to check out the hotel’s very own dessert bar, Om Nom. From chocolate churros to apple cakes, the menu is extensive, creative and sure to please all palettes. Om Nom also offers a breakfast, lunch and dinner menu (if you opt not to have dessert for every meal!).
