With just 34 rooms, this hotel may be small, but it delivers big in ambiance 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 sunrise 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. The menu is extensive, creative, and sure to please all palettes with chocolate churros to apple cakes. Om Nom also offers a breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu (if you opt not to have dessert for every meal!).
