A great place to stay

It’s a throwback to the art deco days style wise, but it’s fantastic once you open the door to your room in this boutique hotel. Great beds, strong WiFi and Moulton Brown amenities top it off. Trams are right outside the door and it’s minutes from the hustle of the CBD. Loved it !
