Treasury on Collins

This imposing neoclassical building (1875) once housed a branch of the Bank of Australasia. A lofty public bar now fills downstairs, leading up to a guests-only mezzanine serving complimentary wine and nibbles between 4pm and 6pm, its high ceiling supported by gilt-edged columns. The apartments are modern, restrained and spacious. Winning extras include coffee machines, Netflix and Molton Brown toiletries.
