The Hatton
65 Park Street, South Yarra
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Style: Modern Design
Atmosphere: Quiet
20 Rooms
Text size:
Set in a striking hundred-year-old Italianate mansion, the Hatton is an utterly up-to-date prestige hotel. Period features such as stained glass and stone archways are accented with bold colors and sleek contemporary furniture. The building has been completely renovated, the exterior painstakingly restored, and the interior, courtesy of architect Geoffrey Borrack, has been constructed from scratch to fit the existing structure. And if there's something a bit theatrical about the architectural presentation, it is the work of designer Phillip Lethlean, an Australian stage lighting veteran.
Light is handled masterfully inside the guest rooms as well, the natural light maximized and the artificial lighting strategically placed to subtle effect. Lacquered wood floors and neutral-toned walls reflect indirect sunlight, creating a spacious, airy atmosphere.
But no matter how airy and well-lit, no space within the hotel can compete with the roof terrace, with a view of the Botanic Gardens, St. Kilda Road, and the Melbourne skyline.
The Hatton is a small hotel, of only twenty rooms, and cannot provide a self-contained universe to the guests. But to hole up in an oasis-style resort hotel would be perverse, a waste of a perfectly gorgeous city, and a phenomenal neighborhood.
This is no sleepy pensioner's community - though largely residential, South Yarra is the city's most fashionable district. Toorak Road and Chapel Street feature Melbourne's finest shopping and an array of restaurants and bars. The hotel itself is an impressive one, beautifully designed, cozy, with impeccable service. But the neighborhood is an equal attraction. If you are in Melbourne on business, the Hatton is close enough to the center of it all - but if you are here for the Melbourne experience, you are going to end up visiting South Yarra anyway - so save yourself the bother, and book your hotel room here.
How to get there:
The Hatton is approximately a 35 minute drive from Melbourne Airport and a 10 minute tram ride from downtown Melbourne. Taxi rides from Melbourne Airport are approximately A$50.00 one way.

The Hatton's location couldn't be better for someone looking for a short stroll to the parks, the CBD, or fine shopping. Just down the street from the Botanic Gardens (the 'tan' in OZ) and Fawkner park (the 'ner' to us), we enjoyed the shade, sounds and scents of the gardens on our way to everywhere.
But the accommodations and staff of the Hatton always made our day. The staff was friendly, super helpful and always smiley. The rooms, hallways, lounge room and roof-top were all comfortable clean and inviting.
Finally, the breakfast; Brekky. Yum. Even when we started our day at 10a, it was just perfect.
Thanks for a wonderful stay. We'd stay again or recommend in a second.

The hotel is a wonderful building and we were made very welcome. The room was a good size and breakfast was excellent - great fruit toast! Most of all we liked the location, out of the centre but just next to a tram stop and also just a few minutes from the botanical gardens.
What the hotel could do better
Nothing really, very enjoyable.

These reviews are posted exclusively by verified guests whose stays were booked through TabletHotels.com. We do encourage our clients to express their opinions, and what makes a hotel experience great is often something subjective, a matter of personal taste. At the same time, many of the hotels we list are extreme in one dimension or another, and are bound to disappoint somebody somewhere. These reviews are an excellent way to identify a hotel's particular quirks, and thereby avoid a poor hotel-guest match. But remember: if a hotel's overall customer rating falls lower than 15 out of 20, the hotel will be removed from our listings.
The opinions expressed in these reviews are solely those of our clients; the opinions expressed in any hotel management responses are solely those of the hotels themselves. We do not endorse any of the opinions expressed within the reviews, and we are not affiliated with any of the hotels in question. We reserve the right to remove any of the review or management response at our discretion.
