Melbourne’s graphic laneways are a perfect representation of the city’s cool and edgy style and where better to stay to soak it all in than at the Ovolo Laneways. All the room take inspiration from, you guessed it, the graphic laneways, but it’s the technicolour Penthouse Suite that is the ultimate spot for a stylish city break.
Why? Well after you’ve spent your days roaming the cool streets of Fitzroy and Carlton, wandered the aisles of Queen Victoria Market or spent the day cheering on your favourite team at the MCG, you can rest and relax on your terrace in the suite’s private Jacuzzi. As you clink your champagne glasses and admire the city skyline, you can start planning your next day’s adventures—a day at St Kilda beach, anyone?
