Hotels in Melbourne's Inner South

Choosing a Hotel for Your Event

Character is the common thread south of the river. Rather than towers, the inner south offers a heritage motel in Toorak, a pub with rooms upstairs in South Melbourne and two St Kilda hotels – one built around its art collection, the other a mix of hotel rooms and apartments near the bay.

Which one fits depends on whether your guests are driving, travelling as a family or need a meeting room as well as a bed.

The four inner south properties side by side:

Toorak Manor, 220 Williams Rd, Toorak – an 1880s heritage building with brass and four-poster beds, free parking and Hawksburn station close by
Coppersmith Hotel, 435 Clarendon St, South Melbourne – fifteen boutique rooms above a bistro and bar, with a rooftop terrace facing the city
Tolarno Hotel, 42 Fitzroy St, St Kilda – rooms each centred on an original artwork, plus a two-bedroom Georges Suite with kitchen
Cosmopolitan Hotel, 6 Carlisle St, St Kilda – compact doubles through to two-bedroom apartments, From $104 per night
Both St Kilda hotels have their own meeting or function rooms, for up to 50 at Tolarno and up to 40 at the Cosmopolitan

None of the four is a big chain hotel, so expect individually styled rooms and direct contact with the people who run them.

Toorak suits drivers: Toorak Manor has free car parking and sits where Toorak meets South Yarra and Prahran, near Chapel Street
South Melbourne suits guests who want a drink and a meal downstairs, with Coppersmith's bistro, bar and rooftop terrace in the same building
St Kilda suits groups who want the beach, Fitzroy Street's cafes and bars, or the Palais Theatre close at hand
The Cosmopolitan's off-street parking is pre-booked, so reserve a space with the room
