The hotel provides proximity to Town Hall train station for easy transport links around the city. Guests receive personalized local dining recommendations from hotel staff for nearby restaurants and cafes.

Business & Practical Features

Air-conditioned rooms are equipped with in-room safes large enough for laptops, and dedicated non-smoking rooms are available throughout the hotel. Public parking is available nearby at AUD 55 per day.
