The hype
Travelers love the refurbished rooms and the breakfast buffet at Ottie's, but the elevators can be slow during peak checkout times.

如果以下情況適用，請預訂 You're in town for a convention or the footy and want reliable upscale comfort without the Crown Casino price tag.
為什麼人們喜歡它
- Direct access to the Melbourne Convention Centre via a short walk
- Heated rooftop pool that stays warm even in Melbourne's fickle weather
- River view rooms offer floor-to-ceiling panoramas of the Yarra
快速概覽： A solid, recently renovated corporate workhorse that delivers on comfort but charges a ransom for valet parking.
由 @marwin_says 評論: I stayed in Room 703 and honestly, it's the best travel hack I've found. The river view is incredible, and having a front-row seat to the city without dealing with people was exactly what I needed.

Reality check
While the river views are stunning, the 'City View' rooms suffer from train noise due to the proximity of Southern Cross Station.
- You are attending an event at MCEC (Convention Centre)
- You want a heated outdoor pool open year-round
- You appreciate a high-quality hotel breakfast buffet

內幕秘訣
- ✨
The 'Casino View' is a misnomer; it mostly views the railway. Always pick River View.
- ✨
There is a tram stop (Stop 124) right out front, but it's just *outside* the Free Tram Zone (which ends at Flinders St/Southern Cross).
- ✨
Join IHG One Rewards before booking to potentially get free late checkout (subject to availability).
出發前需要知道的 5 件事
💡The building is cylindrical, meaning some rooms have a slight 'pie-slice' shape.
💡The 'Dive Bar' has a jukebox and neon lights but charges hotel prices for cocktails.
💡You can walk to the 'Higher Ground' cafe (an old power station) in 10 minutes for a world-class brunch.
💡The wind on the pool deck can be fierce because it's exposed to the river corridor.
💡The 'Standard' rooms are compact (approx 26 sqm) compared to older Melbourne hotels.
