Park Hyatt Melbourne stands at the top of Collins Street in East Melbourne, on the edge of the central business district, looking over St Patrick's Cathedral and the Victorian rooftops around it, two minutes from the Fitzroy Gardens. The MICHELIN Guide calls it unpretentiously grand. It has 245 rooms and suites, which the hotel describes as the largest in the city, and their style joins a calm, modern Zen look with Art Deco touches, Japanese-style wood panelling and sliding doors. Bathrooms are lined in Italian marble, with glass basins and spa baths, and the suites have fireplaces or private terraces. On an upper floor are a 25-metre edgeless pool, a fitness studio and a day spa. Radii, the restaurant, spreads over five levels and serves modern European food, there is a circular bar, and high tea is served every day in the lobby lounge, with The Lounge & Garden among the hotel's places to eat and drink. Melbourne Airport at Tullamarine is about 20 kilometres away, roughly 30 minutes by car.
