The new kid on the Canberra block is this 130-room apartment-hotel designed by Bates Smart for Adina's premium brand. You're promised a "tailored" stay at 1 Consitution Ave: receptionists are out, "personalised experience curators" are in.

Canberra, ACT

This is loved for its independent vibe, rooftop terrace and reasonable rates in Northbridge. The common living spaces are designed to be a home away from home, stylish but relaxed places for working or catching up with friends.
Alex Hotel
Perth, WA
The 60ha estate is pure Barossa, a beguiling collection of 1850s settlers' buildings set among vines above Greenock Creek, an hour drive from Adelaide. The feel of the cellar door and winery is rather French, as is the mood in the tasting room.
Alkina
Brossa Valley, SA
Creating a place where locals, not just paying guests, want to hang in the lobby, catch up with friends or even work is the bedrock of the group's hotels in the US, Japan and Canada — and now in Australia.
Ace Hotel
Surry Hills, NSW
It may not be the poshest of digs at Ayers Rock Resort, but the refurbished Desert Gardens Hotel has the resort's only rooms with a view of Uluru.

Ayers Rock Resort, NT
A mere 50m from the wild Southern Ocean, these three luxury retreats hunker into the dunes of Ettrick Rocks. Expect dusk visits from wallabies, birdlife shows and theatrical sunsets.
Ettrick Rocks
King Island, TAS
Rural retreats — beautifully sited couples' cabins with requisite outsized bathtubs — are cropping up like mushrooms after a rain, but few scream "special" like these three hideaways a short drive from Cowes.
Five Acres
Phillip Island, VIC
This rustic hideaway is a thing of great beauty. Designed and built by creative cattle farmers Lyn and Rob French, The Hut is open to the elements on one side, with a big bathtub in pride of place.
Gilberton Outback Retreat
Gilbert River, QLD
