Surrounded by some of the best boutiques, restaurants, and galleries, this architectural design hotel is ideally located just outside the CBD in South Melbourne. Once the Cricket Club Hotel, this recently renovated boutique hotel has kept the 19th Century facade, but not much else, taking a bold approach with high quality finishes, rock star lighting and hand-crafted furniture. Enjoy a sunset drink on the rooftop with vertical gardens and city views, try the European inspired menu in the ultra-cool bistro, or relax in your stylish room. Coppersmith is laid-back and welcoming. It feels like coming home.
