Rydges has reimagined its Melbourne mother ship to be a more sophisticated and contemporary hotel.

What’s it near? | Rydges Melbourne is in Exhibition Street, at the top of Chinatown, opposite Her Majesty’s Theatre. Around the corner is Grossi Florentino, Pellegrini’s Espresso Bar, and Hill of Content Bookshop. From the newly installed rooftop pool with its stripey umbrellas and cushioned terraces, you can see Parliament, Fitzroy Gardens and Rod Laver Arena.
