Downtown Melbourne hotel lures with vintage design and modern amenities
Located on Collins Street in the heart of downtown Melbourne, the Realto combines old architecture with modern-day amenities for a unique lodging experience. Portions of the structure date back to the late 1800s, but rooms have been modernized (most recently in 2008) to provide the latest creature comforts. The hotel features a 24-hour fitness center, as well as an indoor heated pool and standalone spa. One restaurant and two bars round out the diversions on-site.

Had a great two night stay. Very quiet and comfortable in a lovely queen room. Slightly marred by the false-alarm fire evacuation 8.30am on the first morning! Very cosy room in a beautiful building. Highly recommended.

The room was lovely and 'mostly clean', but there was a soap ring next to the sink which i was willing to overlook as the rest of the bathroom was sparkling. Unfortunately though, bedlthere was a mark on the inen that looked like chocolate (hopefully) which I didn't see until the morning. Getting the room at well under 1/2 price stopped me from complaining as I should have...something I now regret. The hotel is lovely and the food was great, but that cleaner obviously needs dealt with.
