InterContinental Melbourne The Rialto by IHG

Down at the quiet end of Collins St, it's a bit of a walk to the centre of town. Take the tram, as the hotel is within the "free tram zone". The hotel is sandwiched between buildings, so the "view" is of the interior of the hotel. Not much to look at, but still better than a brick wall. Hotel is aging, still nice and comfortable. Decent size for the standard room. Tech is ageing - tv and no USB-c means upgrade is needed. During the Grand Prix, you could play with slot cars at the bar. Breakfast was solid, but not spectacular for a 5-star hotel. Would wonder how they cope when occupancy was higher; as staff were running around and food was running out at some stations. Pretty good hotel, but needs to improve its' offering.

Room was great and staff were very friendly and helpful.

Buffet breakfast. Food was ok but not as wide a selection as usual. No coffee machine which means waiting to order and staff didn't rotate around.

The staff were lovely. We liked getting the text message to see how we were going. My concern about the air con was addressed immediately. The breakfasts were lovely.

The lack of light was the only real disappointment.

Great location historic building.

Great Hotel with an excellent location close to the shopping and many great restaurants! Good breakfast and the Concierge also was very helpful! Will definitely return!
