High above Melbourne’s central business district, The Ritz-Carlton, Melbourne begins with its lobby on level 80 of a tower on Lonsdale Street. Rooms and suites use dark timber, stone and locally connected artwork, with broad windows framing the city, bay or mountain ranges according to orientation. Atria serves contemporary Australian cooking shaped by Victorian produce, while Cameo presents cocktails from an intimate upper floor bar. Treatment spaces and separate sauna and steam facilities sit within the spa. An indoor infinity pool and fitness centre share the elevated wellness level, both with extensive skyline views. Southern Cross Station, Queen Victoria Market and Docklands are accessible on foot from the western edge of the city centre.
