Garden State Hotel

Melbourne


Just as in a grand English garden, there are orderly bits and wild bits in this so-hot-right-now multi-purpose venue. Shuffle past the suits into the main bar area, backed by shiny copper vats and a three-storey void filled with mature trees. The best part is the chandelier-adorned Rose Garden cocktail bar in the basement. The food is solid too.

Can you smell that nostalgic, sweet perfume? It's the signature scent that's pumped throughout the venue.
