Sydney, as the capital, may get the bulk of the world’s attention, but Melbourne is Australia’s cool city, its artistic center, the city that gave to the world just about any Aussie actor or musician you can name, from Cate Blanchett to Hugh Jackman, from Kylie Minogue to Nick Cave—and we’ll take interesting company over landmark bridges and opera houses any day.
The Adelphi is the kind of small and stylish hotel that would seem too precious in (relatively) staid Sydney—but it’s a perfect match for this creative, fashion-forward town. This converted warehouse building by Australian firm Denton Corker Marshall is a favorite amongst architects, a fine example of what the modern minimal hotel can be, and the sort of place that shames the imitators. Many hotels make far less from the same palette of blonde wood and matte metal, and though road-sign yellow may be a daring choice for interiors in what is supposed to be a restful environment, there’s no question that they’ve made it work.
The hotel is perhaps best known for one of its most daring architectural flourishes: the rooftop lap pool, the transparent bottom of which extends out over the street below—fine for watching the pedestrians as you swim, as long as you’re comfortable with them watching you. But it’s the more traditional charms that make the Adelphi worth returning to; the guest rooms are exceedingly well put together, with striking modern furniture—yes, some of it yellow—and the views from the rooftop bar are extraordinary. It’s a hike from hip St Kilda, but close to all the high street shops, with all the conveniences of a city center hotel, like 24-hour room service and Ezard, a buzzing Modern Australian restaurant.

Very nice and helpful staff. Good location. Nice bath products in bathroom. I-pod dock in room. Spa on location. Nice restaurant on location.I Disliked
Parts of hotel look like they need renovation. Small gym. Spa missing a strong ambience. Low-key vibe, which is good (i.e. not pretentious); but seems like one should be getting more for the money.123 user(s) found this review helpful.

A small hotel located in the heart of Melbourne's laneways makes this is the perfect spot for a weekend getaway. The Adelphi ideally located for exploring Melbourne's CBD which is chock full of great little shops, coffee joints, bars and restaurants. The room we had was a weel sized and featured a super comfy bed and large bathroom. Great minibar including plunger coffee and a good tea selection. The service was generally friendly and prompt.I Disliked
It may have been a design icon when it was built but it sure is looking tired now! The good news is it's apparently undergoing an upgrade. The bad news was that many of the promised upgraded room facilities (eg. iPod docking station; radio) wheren't in our room - when we asked for am iPod docking station to be bought up, the one we recieved was faulty.131 user(s) found this review helpful.

The location of the Adelphi is prime. It is located just off of Swanson which is a major thoroughfare through the CBD and has trams that go to almost all locations of the city immediately there. Lots to do in the area with exceptional restaurants in an easy walking distance. The rooms were quiet, comfortable, and large. I would definitely stay here again.I Disliked
Even though the hotel has recently undergone an "update" there are still some features that show significant wear. The flat panel TV had the welcome screen burned which disrupted the view of the images when watching TV. The shower/bathroom is a pretty open set up with poor ventilation so once you shower, you cannot be in the bathroom for about 10 minutes as it de-steams; water also tends to get all over the place. The clock, although featuring a cool projector to display the time on the ceiling, had broken pixels to that made reading the time difficult. Finally, and most unusual, they "ran out" of shower gel and shampoo.211 user(s) found this review helpful.

Fantastic staff, great location right in the centre of Melbourne and whilst it was a bit nippy to use the pool it was a great weekend. We are sure to return soon.I Disliked

No magnifying make-up mirror in bath. Could use towel bars instead of hooks. No vent in bath--got real steamy--sweating to put on face.897 user(s) found this review helpful.
