There is a grace to Melbourne you will not find anywhere in Australia and it is something to do with the Yarra that flows through it. South Yarra, one of the most exclusive areas, is home to fashionable bars and restaurants, designer shops and the award-winning Lyall Hotel & Spa. In a word, The Lyall is about lifestyle - it has both life and style.

In fact, guests at The Lyall can enter shopping-frenzy mode armed with the hotel's exclusive Privilege Shopping card.

There is an elegant pace to the hotel; an experience that will have you coming back again and again: its Bistro Lyall, emulating the city's multicultural cuisine, the al fresco terrace, the Champagne bar and the Lyall Spa, with its gymnasium, that justly lays claim to be one of Australia's best day spas.

There are art galleries on every floor and, contemporary bedrooms in soothing colours that instantly promise comfort, convenience and luxury.

The Bistro Lyall provides an elegant yet relaxed setting to dine. Enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner inside or al fresco on the terrace. The menu offers contemporary, seasonal cuisine that captures the essence of Melbourne's multicultural influences.

The Lyall Champagne Bar features a fine selection of French champagne and is also complemented by a tantalising bar menu.

The Lyall suite accommodation is all of deluxe standard made up of one and two bedroom configurations. There are open plan studio suites, super deluxe "rooftop" suites with fabulous views and specialty suites. Beautifully textured finishes and opulent fabrics capture a mood that is contemporary oriental.

All suites enjoy the added luxury of opening windows for fresh air and a furnished balcony. Most notable is the Lyall Hotel's unique attention to the smaller details including mist-free mirrors, bathroom under-floor heating, king size beds and a mini-bar with a difference. Having your own kitchen facilities, in most suites, enables you to keep to their own "regime", should you so desire

The central business district is a 10 minute drive from the hotel and Melbourne's Arts precinct and premier sporting arenas The MCG, Rod Laver Arena and Melbourne Park Tennis Centre are close by. Public Transport is easily accessible from The Lyall.

The Lyall is a luxury lifestyle hotel with a unique combination of facilities and services complimented by personal attention.
