One the Directors of Chaos who greets you at the door. Apparently the hotel has an in-house stylist who does their hair & make-up before a shift.
Me in the lobby amongst the eclectic, custom furniture.
The lobby, with brass-reception desk engraved with scenes from the Paris end of Collins Street; staff dressed by Broadway costume designer Janet Hine; and the Coitus Interruptus, a blue double-chaise lounge with armrest running down the middle.
More interesting pieces on the landing. Go for a wander and see what you find.
Stuffed peacock overlooking the lobby, one of the weird and wondering interior details.
On the ground floor is a patisserie and aperitivo bar The Cake Shop, serving pastries made by a Robuchon-trained pastry chef inside the hotel’s temperature-controlled pastry cube.
One of the said treats (a matcha petit four) – delivered to your room for afternoon tea.
The QT Executive King room with super comfy bed.
Views from the bathroom with doors that open out on to the room.
Lounging in the room with great reading material.
Rooftop bar with killer city views. The split indoor-outdoor space on the 11th floor of the hotel can hold 185 people. Furniture is by Melbourne designers, Tait.

Highs & Lows

The location here can’t be faulted. There’s no better place to stay as a visitor to Melbourne.

The food offering is impressive at QT Melbourne. There are four stand-alone venues here – Pascale Bar & Grill, Cakeshop, Rooftop Bar, Hot Sauce bar (Japanese-Korean street food).

QT Hotels are known for their eclectic taste and the interior styling here is a lot of fun. Taking inspiration from the hotel’s surroundings, a lot of thought has been put into all of the details offering a very cool, creative inner-city feel.

There is a rooftop garden but it’s not open to public.
