Where? In South Yarra, a ritzy residential area in Melbourne, close to the boutiques and restaurants on Toorak Road, and 10 minutes from the business district.
Who goes there? Olivia Newton-John is a fan, as are Australian fashion designer Collette Dinnigan and Aussie Vogue editor Kirstie Clements.
So, what's the big deal? After a stylish makeover by owners Peter and Rowina Thomas, this all-suite boutique has fast become the city's lushest lifestyle address, where the little things count.
Such as? The rooms have underfloor heating, after-dark floor lights in the bathrooms, steam-free mirrors, a safe for your laptop, and wide-screen TV. Non-gizmo goodies include a pillow menu, gourmet minibar, bicycles, fat towels and, miracle of miracles, windows that open.
The suites sound like mini-apartments. They include open-plan studios and two-bedroom 'speciality' styles, but you might want to save up your pennies for the Platinum suite, which has a spa bath, B&O sound system, personalised writing paper, private kitchen and freezer filled with home-made ice cream.
Comfy or cutting-edge? The look is modern oriental, which means a glossy combo of strict lines and neutral colours warmed by swathes of spice. The guest rooms feature original artworks and handmade furniture, plus there is a mini art gallery on each floor.
