Funky boutique hotel in South Yarra boasts lap pool and rooftop garden

This funky boutique hotel is situated on one of South Yarra's prettiest streets, just a short walk from Fawkner Park and the Royal Botanic Garden. The building itself dates back to the 1960s, and features three floors of small rooms opening to a covered walkway. Rooms come with free high-speed Internet access, and there's a lap pool and garden on the roof. The on-site restaurant, Bloomfield Bar & Bistro, is open for breakfast daily, then again at night for drinks.

  • Located in the heart of arty South Yarra
  • Rooftop pool and garden
  • Free high-speed Internet access
  • Enjoy sumptuous breakfasts at Bloomfield Bar & Bistro

Albany Melbourne accommodations -- 68 rooms (and no suites) -- are small but tastefully appointed. Each room comes standard with a flat-screen television, pillow-top mattress, mini-refrigerator and ironing board. Some of the larger suites include mini-bars and on-demand movies. Guests receive free Internet access; Wi-Fi is also available (fees apply).

The Albany dates back to the 1960s, when it was born as a compact budget motel. The property has been renovated significantly since then, most recently in 2010.

All guests enjoy free access to the rooftop lap pool and garden, and free (and private) on-site parking. While there is no gym on site, the hotel is just a block from Fawkner Park. The Albany offers babysitting service (fees apply).

Grab an elaborate breakfast or a nightcap at Bloomfield Bar & Bistro, a compact lounge area on the ground floor. Coffee and cakes are served all day.

Deluxe room
The Deluxe rooms have been fully renovated this year and are now the newest rooms of the Albany. Situated overlooking leafy Millswyn Street, one of South Yarra’s prettiest streets, they are serene and shrouded in wonderful light filtering through the trees outside.

Really nice place to stay. I was

Really nice place to stay. I was able to check out late which was really helpful. Reception staff were fantastic and couldn't have been any more polite and pleasant. Cafe in the hotel was exceptional and again, first class service from staff there. If it wasn't quite so expensive - I'd be staying here every time I was in Melbourne which be very regular!

We had a really nice stay at the

We had a really nice stay at the Albany. Staff were very helpful and gave good tips. Room service and afterhours food in Rest very dissapointing and overprices. Our room was near the smoking area so the fumes tended to come into the room, but it was not unbearable. Dispite these few things we had a very nice stay and will certainly stay there again!
