Adelphi Hotel

Melbourne


This discreet Flinders Lane property has a glam European feel with design touches throughout. The lobby looks good enough to eat, although it could just be the jelly beans at reception and dessert-themed Om Nom restaurant making us salivate. Look for the iconic glass-bottomed rooftop pool projecting out nine storeys above the street (access for non-guests $35, subject to availability).

Bonus: there are free lollies and nonalcoholic beverages in the well-stocked minibars.
